10⁶ mega (M): 1,000,000 m - 1Mm
10³ kilo (k): 1,000 m = 1 km
10² hecto (h): 100 m = 1 hm
10¹ deka (da): 10 m = 1 dam
10^-1 deci (d): 1 m = 10 dm
10^-2 centi (c): 1 m = 100 cm
10^-3 milli (m): 1 m = 1,000 mm
10^-6 micro (µ): 1 m = 1,000,000 µm
10^-9 nano (n): 1 m = 10⁹ nm

The lowercase m represents meters. It can be replaced with another metric abbreviation to calculate another unit (ex. replace m with g to calculate grams)

The easiest way to convert is to cancel out the original units on the numerator and denominator and multiply/divide by the desired unit
