1 ym – 1 yoctometre, the smallest named subdivision of the metre in the SI base unit of
To convert larger units to smaller units we multiply the number of larger units by the
The millimeter is the smallest commonly used unit in the metric system.
To convert meters to centimeters we need to first identify the larger unit.
1 meter = 100 centimeters. 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m. 1 meter = 1000 millimeters. 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.1 cm. 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters. 1 micrometer (μm) ...
nanometer is three orders of magnitude smaller than the micrometer, which is.
Smaller units, such as centimeters and millimeters, typically used to measure small
Units smaller than a meter have Latin prefixes:
km. hm. dam. m. dm. cm. mm
