==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Mega]] is a [[Unit Prefix]] that means a number is 10<sup>6</sup> times bigger than the normal [[unit]].
===About Kilos===
: [[Mega]] can be shortened to an upper case M.
===Examples===
: A megametre (Mm) is 10<sup>6</sup> metres (m).
: A megavolt (MV) is 10<sup>6</sup> volts (V).
: A megagram (Mg) is 10<sup>6</sup> grams (g).
===Converting from mega===
To convert from [[mega]] to the base unit you must times by 10<sup>6</sup>.
: <math>5Mm = 5 \times 10^6m = 5000,000m</math>
: <math>12MA = 12\times 10^6A = 12,000,000A</math>
: <math>3.4MV = 3.4\times 10^6V = 3,400,000V</math>
: <math>0.53MN = 0.53\times 10^6N = 530,000N</math>
: <math>0.082MJ = 0.082\times 10^6J = 82,000J</math>
===Converting to mega===
To convert to [[mega]] from a base unit you must divide by 10<sup>6</sup>.
: <math>23000m = \frac{23000}{10^6}Mm = 0.023Mm</math>
: <math>8200A = \frac{8200}{10^6}MA = 0.0082MA</math>
: <math>670V = \frac{670}{10^6}MV = 0.00067MV</math>
: <math>32N = \frac{32}{10^6}MN = 0.000032MN</math>
: <math>2J = \frac{2}{10^6}MJ = 0.000002MJ</math>
