What is the four letter prefix which means a factor of ten to the power nine?
"in France in 1795, but they were not retained when the SI prefixes were agreed internationally by the 11th CGPM conference in 1960. The prefix """"myrio-"""" was an alternative spelling variant for """"myria-"""", as proposed by Thomas Young. A binary prefix indicates multiplication by a power of two. The tenth power of 2 (2) has the value , which is close to . This has prompted the use of the metric prefixes ""kilo"", ""mega"", and ""giga"" to also denote the powers of 1024 which is common in information technology with the unit of digital information, the byte.

"Deca- Deca- or deka- (symbol da) is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system, denoting a factor of ten. The term is derived from the Greek """" (), meaning ""ten"". The prefix was a part of the original metric system in 1795. It is not in very common usage, although the decapascal is occasionally used by audiologists. The decanewton is also encountered occasionally, probably because it is an SI approximation of the kilogram-force. Its use is more common in Central Europe. In German, Polish, Czech, Slovak and Hungarian, ""deka"" (or ""deko"") is common and used as a word on"
"Zetta- Zetta is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 or . The prefix was added as an SI prefix to the International System of Units (SI) in 1991 and has the symbol Z. Zetta is evocative of the Latin numeral , meaning ""seven"". Therefore it was used to denote the seventh power of 1000. A prefix of the same value, ""hepta"", was informally introduced a few years before the promulgation of zetta. It was formed from the Greek (), also meaning ""seven"". ""Hepta"" never received official sanction and is obsolete. Zeta (), although"
"Nano- Nano- (symbol n) is a unit prefix meaning ""one billionth"". Used primarily with the metric system, this prefix denotes a factor of 10 or . It is frequently encountered in science and electronics for prefixing units of time and length. Examples: The prefix derives from the Greek (Latin ""nanus""), meaning ""dwarf"". The General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) officially endorsed the usage of ""nano"" as a standard prefix in 1960.

Tamil has a numeric prefix for each number from 1 to 9, which can be added to the words for the powers of ten (ten, hundred, thousand, etc.) to form multiples of them. For instance, the word for fifty, ஐம்பது (aimpathu) is a combination of ஐ (ai, the prefix for five) and பத்து (paththu, which is ten). The prefix for nine changes with respect to the succeeding base 10. தொ+ the unvoiced consonant of the succeeding base 10 forms the prefix for nine. For instance, 90 is தொ+ண் ('ண்' being the unvoiced"

When a number such as 10 needs to be referred to in words, it is simply read out as ""ten to the forty-fifth"". This is easier to say and less ambiguous than ""quattuordecillion"", which means something different in the long scale and the short scale. When a number represents a quantity rather than a count, SI prefixes can be used—thus ""femtosecond"", not ""one quadrillionth of a second""—although often powers of ten are used instead"
"Binary prefix A binary prefix is a unit prefix for multiples of units in data processing, data transmission, and digital information, notably the bit and the byte, to indicate multiplication by a power of 2. The computer industry has historically used the units ""kilobyte"", ""megabyte"", and ""gigabyte"", and the corresponding symbols KB, MB, and GB, in at least two slightly different measurement systems. In citations of main memory (RAM) capacity, ""gigabyte"" customarily means bytes. As this is a power of 1024, and 1024 is a power of two (2), this usage is referred to as a binary measurement.

"Power of 10 In mathematics, a power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ten are: In decimal notation the ""n""th power of ten is written as '1' followed by ""n"" zeroes. It can also be written as 10 or as 1E""n"" in E notation.

It is the only SI prefix which uses a character not from the Latin alphabet.
