With regard to the second and / or third letters in the prefixes in the list below, if the country in question is allocated all callsigns with A to Z in that position, then that country can also use call signs with the digits 0 to 9 in that position.

For example, the United States is assigned KA – KZ, and therefore can also use prefixes like KW0 or K1.

In the SI system, use of prefixes for powers of 1, 000 is preferred and all other multiples discouraged.

In particular, use of the centi ( 10 < sup >− 2 </ sup >), deci ( 10 < sup >− 1 </ sup >), deca ( 10 < sup >+ 1 </ sup >), and hecto ( 10 < sup >+ 2 </ sup >) prefixes are still common.

By the end of 2007, standards and government authorities including IEC, IEEE, EU, and NIST proposed standards for binary prefixes and requiring the use of megabyte to strictly denote 1000 < sup > 2 </ sup > bytes and mebibyte to denote 1024 < sup > 2 </ sup > bytes.

In early classifications of African languages, one of the principal criteria used to distinguish different groupings was the languages ' use of prefixes to classify nouns, or the lack thereof.

Today the prefixes are standardized for use in the International System of Units ( SI ) by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in resolutions dating from 1960 to 1991.

The choice of prefixes with a given unit is usually dictated by convenience of use.

Official policies about the use of these prefixes vary slightly between the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures ( BIPM ) and the American National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ); and some of the policies of both bodies are at variance with everyday practice.

The BIPM ’ s position on the use of SI prefixes with units of time larger than the second is the same as that of the NIST but their position with regard to angles differs: they state " However astronomers use milliarcsecond, which they denote mas, and microarcsecond, µas, which they use as units for measuring very small angles.

They are not SI units, using y to abbreviate English year, but following ambiguous international recommendations, use either the standard English first letters as prefixes ( t, m, and b ) or metric prefixes ( k, M, and G ) or variations on metric prefixes ( k, m, g ).

Although the metric system has changed and developed since its inception, its basic concepts have hardly changed-it was designed for transnational use ; it consisted of a basic set of units of measurement, now known as base units ; derived units were built up from the base units using logical rather than empirical relationships while multiples and submultiples of both base and derived units were decimal based and identified by a standard set of prefixes.
