• For b: kilo-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^{-3}kg$

• For c: deci-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10dg$

• For d: centi-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^{3}cg$

• For e: milli-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^3mg$

• For f: micro-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^6\mu g$

• For g: nano-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^9ng$

• For h: pico-

The conversion factor used is:

$1g=10^{12}pg$
