Multiple Units
units that are integral multiples of systemic and subsidiary units of physical quantities. In the International
System of Units, multiple units are formed according to the decimal principle, which relates the multiple units to the basic units. They are named using prefixes with the name of the basic unit (see Table 1). Examples: 1 decaliter (da l) = 10 l, 1 kilometer (km) = 103 m, 1 megahertz (MHz) = 106 Hz.
