Detailed explanation-1: -In the SI, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Centi (symbol c) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one hundredth.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example “centi” is a prefix that means 1/100. When “centi” is placed in front of a base unit, such as meter, the new unit is called a centimeter and has the value of 1/100th the length of a meter. Some of the common SI prefixes, symbols, and values are presented in the table below.
Detailed explanation-4: -We may write hW = 169 000 mm = 16 900 cm = 169 m = 0.169 km using the millimeter (SI prefix milli, symbol m), centimeter (SI prefix centi, symbol c), or kilometer (SI prefix kilo, symbol k).
