==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Milli]] is a [[Unit Prefix]] that means a number is 10<sup>-3</sup> of the normal [[unit]].
===About Milli===
: [[Milli]] can be shortened to a lower case m.
===Examples===
: A millimetre (mm) is 10<sup>-3</sup> metres (m).
: A millivolt (mV) is 10<sup>-3</sup> volts (V).
: A milligram (mg) is 10<sup>-3</sup> grams (g).
===Converting from Milli===
To convert from [[milli]] to the base unit you must times by 10<sup>-3</sup>.
: <math>83000mm = 83000\times10^{-3}m = 83m</math>
: <math>2600mA = 2600\times10^{-3}A = 2.6A</math>
: <math>170mV = 170\times10^{-3}V = 0.17V</math>
: <math>22mN = 22\times10^{-3}N = 0.022N</math>
: <math>6mJ = 6\times10^{-3}J = 0.006J</math>
===Converting to Milli===
To convert to [[milli]] from a base unit you must divide by 10<sup>-3</sup>.
: <math>4m = \frac{4}{10^{-3}}mm = 4000mm</math>
: <math>34A = \frac{34}{10^{-3}}mA = 24000mA</math>
: <math>1.9V = \frac{1.9}{10^{-3}}mV = 1900mV</math>
: <math>0.73N = \frac{0.73}{10^{-3}}mN = 730mN</math>
: <math>0.092J = \frac{0.092}{10^{-3}}mJ = 92mJ</math>
