Explanation:

• Kilo: In the metric system, the prefix "kilo -" means \(10^{3}\) or 1000 times the base unit. For example, 1 kilometer \( = 1000\) meters.
• Centi: The prefix "centi -" means \(10^{- 2}\) or \(\frac{1}{100}\) of the base unit. For example, 1 centimeter \(=\frac{1}{100}\) meter.
• Nano: The prefix "nano -" means \(10^{-9}\) or \(\frac{1}{1000000000}\) of the base unit. For example, 1 nanometer \(=\frac{1}{1000000000}\) meter.
• Milli: The prefix "milli -" means \(10^{-3}\) or \(\frac{1}{1000}\) of the base unit. For example, 1 milliliter \(=\frac{1}{1000}\) liter.
