While the numerical difference between the decimal and binary interpretations is relatively small for the prefixes kilo and mega, it grows to over 20 % for prefix yotta, illustrated in the linear-log graph ( at right ) of difference versus storage size.

* Binary prefix, indicating magnitude multipliers in a base-two number system ( e. g., kilo -, kibi -, etc.

( Note that K is the SI unit for temperature ( kelvin ) and should not be confused with k, the SI prefix for kilo.

However, a second definition and usage has historically been in practice in many fields of computer science and information technology, which defines the prefix kilo when used with byte or bit units of data as 1024 ( 2 < sup > 10 </ sup >); this is due to the mathematical coincidence that Thus, in these fields 1 kilobyte is equal to 1 kibibyte, a new unit standardized as part of the binary prefixes to resolve the ambiguity.

The kilo prefix is derived from the Greek word χίλιοι ( chilioi ), meaning " thousand ".

The International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ) therefore recommends the symbol bit instead of b. The prefix kilo is often used in fields of computer science and information technology with a meaning of multiplication by 1024 instead of 1000, contrary to international standards, in conjunction with the base unit byte and bit, in which case it is often written with a capital letter K, e. g., Kbit and KB.

The prefix kilo -, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand ; one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams ( 1 kg = g ).

) 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.

It was designed to replace the kilobyte when used in computer science contexts to mean 1024 bytes, which conflicts with the SI definition of the prefix kilo, but it has seen little adoption by the computer industry.

The prefix kibi is derived as a portmanteau of the words kilo and binary, indicating its origin in the closeness in value to the SI prefix kilo ( 1000 ).

The binary interpretation of the metric prefixes causes relatively small differences with the smallest prefixes in the series, i. e. for kilo and mega, but grows to substantial differences beyond ( see binary prefix: deviation between powers of 1024 and powers of 1000 ).

) The prefix kilo, in conjunction with byte, may be, and has traditionally been, used, to mean 1, 024 ( 2 < sup > 10 </ sup >).

The symbol Λ ( lambda ) is used as a prefix to describe the left-handed propeller twist formed by three bidentate ligands, as shown.

Likewise, the symbol Δ ( delta ) is used as a prefix for the right-handed propeller twist.

* Deca-( symbol da ), an SI prefix for a factor of 10

Although the prefix kilo-means 1000, the term kilobyte and symbol kB have historically been used to refer to either 1024 ( 2 < sup > 10 </ sup >) bytes or 1000 ( 10 < sup > 3 </ sup >) bytes, dependent upon context, in the fields of computer science and information technology.

Kilo-( symbol: k, lowercase ) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting multiplication of the unit by one thousand.

The kilobit is closely related to the kibibit, a unit multiple derived from the binary prefix kibi ( symbol Ki ) of the same order of magnitude, which is equal to =, or approximately 2 % larger than the kilobit.

Mega-( symbol M ) is a prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of million ( 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > or

The symbol for the SI prefix micro -, µ, came from the Greek lowercase mu, μ.

The European notation avoids using a decimal separator, and replaces the decimal separator with the SI prefix symbol for the particular value.

The use of a SI prefix symbol or the letter ' R ' circumvents the problem that decimal separators tend to ' disappear ' when photocopying a printed circuit diagram.

Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to the unit symbol.

Each prefix name has an associated symbol which can be used in combination with the symbols for units of measure.

This symbol coincides with that for the pascal without a multiplier prefix, though both are infrequently used and context will normally be sufficient to distinguish time from pressure values.

A zettabyte ( symbol ZB, derived from the SI prefix zetta -) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one sextillion ( one long scale trilliard ) bytes.

The kilometre ( American spelling: kilometer ; SI symbol: km ) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand metres ( kilo-being the SI prefix for 1000 ).

Tera-( symbol: T ) is a prefix in the metric system denoting 10 < sup > 12 </ sup > or.

When a set has been reduced to one symbol, of course, this means the symbol's code is complete and will not form the prefix of any other symbol's code.

Peta-( symbol: P ) is a prefix in the metric system denoting 10 < sup > 15 </ sup > or.

Atto-( symbol a ) is a prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 < sup >− 18 </ sup > or.

The gibibyte is a standards-based binary multiple ( prefix gibi, symbol Gi ) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage.

The tebibyte is a standards-based binary multiple ( prefix tebi, symbol Ti ) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage.

The exbibyte is a standards-based binary multiple ( prefix exbi, symbol Ei ) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage.

Only the prefix ma ( k )- is used when the root word ends with a consonant ; for example, the noun " cook " or " chef " can be derived from the word te ' in as makte ' in as well as te ' in-na ' in.

* SI prefix for the precise meaning of the prefix " k "

While the SI prefix is written with lowercase ( k ), the IEC prefix starts with an uppercase letter.

Because all the codewords of length k + 1 consist of an unassigned codeword of length k with a " 0 " or " 1 " appended, the resulting code is a prefix code.

Reforms included changing the spelling by removing non-Roman letters such as ĉ and re-introducing the k / q dichotomy ; removing a couple of the more obscure phonemic contrasts ( one of which,, has been effectively removed from standard Esperanto ); ending the infinitives in-r and the plurals in-i like Italian ; eliminating adjectival agreement, and removing the need for the accusative case by setting up a fixed default word order ; reducing the amount of inherent gender in the vocabulary, providing a masculine suffix and an epicene third-person singular pronoun ; replacing the pronouns and correlatives with forms more similar to the Romance languages ; adding new roots where Esperanto uses the antonymic prefix mal -; replacing much of Esperanto's other regular derivation with separate roots, which are thought to be easier for Westerners to remember ; and replacing much of the Germanic and Slavic vocabulary with Romance forms, such as navo for English-derived ŝipo.

That ionic suffix is dropped and replaced with a new suffix ( and sometimes prefix ), according to the table below.

The prefix " hydro -" is added only if the acid is made up of just hydrogen and one other element.

Privative a is the Ancient Greek prefix ἀ-or ἀν-a -, an -, added to words to negate them.

Copulative a is the Greek prefix ἁ-or ἀ-ha -, a -.

Ataxia ( from Greek α-negative prefix +-τάξις = " lack of order "), is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements.

However Abdul is a common Arabic prefix meaning " Servant of the " and " Al " is Arabic for " the ", and if " hazra " means " he prohibited ", " he fenced in " or " Great Lord ", then the name would mean " Servant of the Prohibited ", " Servant of the Fenced in ", or " Servant of the Great Lord " which would make sense considering his role, even if it is not a proper Arabic name.

The suffix-ol appears in the IUPAC chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the highest priority ; in substances where a higher priority group is present the prefix hydroxy-will appear in the IUPAC name.

This neologism is based on the prefix u-( as in the word utopia, a place that does not exist ) and the Greek for time, chronos.

if a prefix outside the 958 or 959 range is listed as a test exchange, these may be reclaimed and issued as standard numbers at a later date.

The current use of exchange prefixes for each area code is listed by CNAC ; if an exchange changes from " plant test " to reclaimed or active, any former test numbers with the associated prefix are invalidated.

* 959-4444 Manitoba Telephone System ( 204 MB ) ( 959 is used as 958 is a regular Winnipeg exchange, not a test prefix )

The official name of the Territory is still simply the " Virgin Islands ", but the prefix " British " is often used to distinguish it from the neighbouring American territory which changed its name from the " Danish West Indies " to " Virgin Islands of the United States " in 1917.

The country code for Belgium is 32 and the international call prefix is 00.

One hundred and fifty more occur with the prefix ge-( reckoning a few found only in the past-participle ), but of these one hundred occur also as simple verbs, and the prefix is employed to render a shade of meaning which was perfectly known and thoroughly familiar except in the latest Anglo-Saxon period.

In computing, a binary prefix is a specifier or mnemonic that is prepended to the units of digital information, the bit and the byte, to indicate multiplication by a power of 1024.
