In case you wondered where they came in the list like I immediately did:
- quetta Q 10^30
- ronna R 10^27
- yotta Y 10^24
- zetta Z 10^21
- exa E 10^18
- peta P 10^15
- tera T 10^12
- giga G 10^9
- mega M 10^6
- kilo k 10^3
- hecto h 10^2
- deca da 10^1
- ——
- deci d 10^−1
- centi c 10^−2
- milli m 10^−3
- micro μ 10^−6
- nano n 10^−9
- pico p 10^−12
- femto f 10^p−15
- atto a 10^−18
- zepto z 10^−21
- yocto y 10^−24
- ronto r 10^−27
- quecto q 10^−30
Googol 10^100.
(Not sure if that’s official prefix.)
As far as I remember it isn’t, it’s just a named specific large number, like Avogadro’s number or Graham’s number.
I noticed recently that a Linux command mentioned in its manpage that it supported Q as a bit prefix and I had to stop to ponder the utility in encoding a million-billion Terabytes.
But did they mean Quettabytes or Quebibytes? Because the difference is only around 250 000 times the size of the Internet.
Bah, that’s just a rounding error!
Or, in other words, around 244 kibiInternets.
I’m going to start giving my height in quectometres
“What the hell are you kids doing down there in the basement, that you need these more specific units?”
“Um… nothing, sir. Everything is quite all right, quite all right.”
“Hrumph! Very well then, I shall be in my study. And do try to keep the bloody racket down, for chrissakes!”
“Yes sir, thank you sir, goodnight sir… Whew… that was a close one!”KEKto
My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)
smol
Not to be confused with
SWOL
‘s’ and ‘S’ could be usable for these.
The only problem being smol -> s mol -> smol mole …Because mol is another unit, making the usage of the full form ambiguous
Glory to the metric system 🫡🇫🇷
Bah, Imperial Units all the way. How else would I know how many stone I weigh, or how many King’s Pubes I am tall? I don’t want to convert from kilometers (whatever those are!) to gentlemans-strides or shilling miles to get where I’m going.
Yes 2025 will be great year.
I do like to sleep in
10-30 quesito
Ohhh, síiii
10^32… Chilito
Yes! Yes baby yes!
Now we just need the cunni - 10⁶⁹
nice
Damn, I was really holding out for Hella for 10^27

Maybe there can be an exception when referring to Californium
The campaign hasn’t made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google’s calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like “1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes” (3.9 hellabytes), or “mass of the earth in hellagrams” (5.9 hellagrams).
If 1027 would be Hella, would 10-27 then be Hello? 🙃
Alas, the prefix H was already in use according to the page you linked. Disappointing.
I don’t think it’s used as a prefix but as a unit symbol. Point still stands though, unfortunately.
Great, now I can talk about lightyears using Fermi length as unit
I’m switching my digital calipers to quetta-planck lengths.
