what are the prefixes used here?
In the metric system, multiples and submultiples of units follow a decimal pattern and in the early days, multipliers that were positive powers of ten were given Greek derived prefixes such as kilo and mega and those negative were given centi and milli.

Metric system [SEP] Prefixes for multiples and submultiples
In the metric system, multiples and submultiples of units follow a decimal pattern. A common set of decimal-based prefixes that have the effect of multiplication or division by an integer power of ten can be applied to units that are themselves too large or too small for practical use. The concept of using consistent classical (Latin or Greek) names for the prefixes was first proposed in a report by the French Revolutionary Commission on Weights and Measures in May 1793. The prefix "kilo", for example, is used to multiply the unit by 1000, and the prefix "milli" is to indicate a one-thousandth part of the unit.
