Metric Prefixes when measuring on a multi-meter

When I'm measuring current,capacitance,inductance i get metric prefixes or power of tens the decimal points are different

The multi-meter will NOT do the conversion

so it will convert milliamps to microamps
examples:

if the multi-meter reads 0.15ma or to will read 150ua
the mean the same thing but when i read it they look way
different to me how does a electronic tech. know what he is
reading because these Metric Prefixes mess me up alot
because they mean the same thing but look way different when
reading them on the meter?


example#(2)

my multi-meter reads 4500uV or it will read 4.5mv


example#(3)

My multi-meter reads 5000 nanoamps or 5 microamps


example#(4)

My multi-meter reads 47,000pf or .047uf

example#(5)

My multi-meter reads .00022 microfarad or 220pf

example#(6)

My multi-meter reads 1800 kilo ohms or 1.8Meg


How do i practice these multi-meter metric prefixes they get me so confussed but they mean the same thing and electronic techs. that use multi-meters know how to do the conversions of this

You just have to learn your prefixes. In fact it's not that hard. Write them down and practice. "Practice makes perfect."

How do i practice can someone show me some tricks or ways to practice this stuff please?

k= kilo=multiply by 1000
M= mega=multiply by 1000000
m=mili= 1/1000 that means you have to divide by 1000
u=micro=1/1000000
n=nano=1/1000000000
p=pico=1/1000000000000
just a little bit of practise
you ll find nano and pico for capacitors only and usually, kilo and megs for resistors
