@ceraolo currently we are only using the 10^k*3 multiples: milli, micro, nano, pico, etc. and kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc.. We may also introduce deci, centi and deca, hecto. I don't think they will be very useful for base units Prefixes such as deci and centi are rather rare...
SI unit prefixes in Symbolic Math Toolbox. Every unit marked by (SI) in the units list accepts SI prefixes. For example,macceptsnm,mcm,mm,cm,kmand so on. PrefixInput FormsExample using metersu.mwhereu = symunit Yotta 1024Y,yottau.Ym,u.yottam ...
General Conference on Weights and Measures. An expanded and modified version of the metric system, the International System addresses the needs of modern science for additional and more accurate units of measurement. The key features of the International System are decimalization, a system of prefixes...
