Unit prefixes
You can enter prefixes for units according to the following table of prefixes
from the SI system.
The prefix abbreviation is shown first, followed by its
name, and by the exponent x in the factor 10
x
corresponding to each
prefix:
(*) In the SI system, this prefix is
da
rather than
D
.
Use D for deka in the
calculator, however.
To enter these prefixes, simply type the prefix using the

keyboard.
For
example, to enter 123 pm (picometer), use:
