Prefix

Prefix is an affix which is placed before a word. In this article, prefixes associated with numbers are shown. 
== Googological prefixes ==
Here are some googological prefixes.
* gar-
* fz-
* fuga-
* megafuga-
* booga-
* trooga-
* googo-
* googolple-
== SI prefixes ==
Prefix to be used with an is shown at SI prefix.
== Non-SI prefixes ==
Although SI prefix is determined by , some people make "extention" of SI prefix, as listed here. As they are not determined by CGPM, they are actually non-SI prefixes. For a standard SI prefix, refer to SI prefix.
=== Andre Joyce's extension ===
Andre Joyce fabricated an extension to the system, noting that zetta and yotta seem related to sette (Italian "seven") and otto (Italian "eight.") Following the reverse-alphabet pattern, we have xova- \(= 10^{27}\), x + nove, and weica- \(= 10^{30}\), w + dieci. (The last letter has been changed to a to keep the pattern.) The pattern for the corresponding negative exponents, like deci-, centi-, and milli-, all end in -i.
From here, only the first syllable of the Italian number is used. We have:
*vunda- = \(10^{33}\), v + und(ici), vundi- = \(10^{-33}\)
*uda- = \(10^{36}\), u + (do)d(ici), udi- = \(10^{-36}\)
*treda- = \(10^{39}\), t + tred(ici), tredi- = \(10^{-39}\)
*satta- = \(10^{42}\), s + (qu)att(ordici), satti- = \(10^{-42}\)
*rinda- = \(10^{45}\), r + (qu)ind(ici), rindi- = \(10^{-45}\)
*qeda- = \(10^{48}\), q + (s)ed(ici), qedi- = \(10^{-48}\)
*pica- = \(10^{51}\), p + (d)ic(iasette), pici- = \(10^{-51}\)
*oca- = \(10^{54}\), o + (di)c(iotto), oci- = \(10^{-54}\)
*nica- = \(10^{57}\), n + (di)c(iannove), nici- = \(10^{-57}\)
*menta- = \(10^{60}\), m + (v)ent(i), menti- = \(10^{-60}\)
The system continues to zotta- = \(10^{255}\) and zotti- = \(10^{-255}\).
=== Jim Blowers' extension ===
Initially Jim Blowers, like Andre Joyce, followed reverse-alphabet pattern and extends his system up to vigintillion:
*xona- = 1027
*weka- = 1030
*vunda- = 1033
*uda- = 1036
*treda- = 1039
*sorta- = 1042
*rinta- = 1045
*quexa- = 1048
*pepta- = 1051
*ocha- = 1054
*nena- = 1057
*minga- = 1060
*luma- = 1063
However, recently he changed this system and proposed his own system of prefixes up to 103,000. Here is a list of his prefixes:
*nina- = 1027
*tena- = 1030
*tenakilo- = 1033
*tenamega- = 1036
*tenagiga- = 1039
*tenatera- = 1042
*tenapeta- = 1045
*tenaexa- = 1048
*tenazetta- = 1051
*tenayotta- = 1054
*tenanina- = 1057
*bitena- = 1060
*bitenakilo- = 1063
*quadtena- = 10120
*huna- = 10300
*tousa- = 103,000
=== Hella-extension ===
Austin Sendek, a University of California student, started a (somewhat jocular) Facebook petition to make "hella-" the official SI prefix for .The Official Petition to Establish Hella as the SI Prefix for 10^27Ryan Kim. Google gets behind 'hella' campaign 2010-05-24. Archived 2012-03-18. "" is a slang term originating out of Northern California, meaning "a lot of" or "very". The term has not become official, but both Google and Wolfram|Alpha have adopted it into their calculator systems.Google and Wolfram|Alpha examples
=== Other extensions ===
There are many other extensions to the SI prefixes, which are listed on the wiki's articles on extended SI prefixes - for example, see the article Prefix 1027.
