The chart for prefexes in science ( basic science as far as I know) are as follows: Milli(1/1000)-Centi(1/100)-Base Unit(1)-Deci(10)-Killi(1000) I think there are more beyond below and between but thats all I can remember and should be sufficient for your purposes.
The prefix "centi-" is used to signify that a unit is 100 times smaller than the SI unit without a prefix. This means the value should be divided by 100.
In this case, Cent would be the prefix. This comes from the latin word. Cent means 100. A century is 100 years. There need to be 100 cents to equal $1, and 1 Centimeter is equal to a meter. It means 100
The prefix for "value" is "re-".
The prefix kilo- denotes a value of one thousand. It is often used in the metric system to represent a factor of 1000.
