Q: Passage: From its beginning, the main features of the metric system were the standard set of interrelated base units and a standard set of prefixes in powers of ten. These base units are used to derive larger and smaller units that could replace a huge number of other units of measure in existence. Although the system was first developed for commercial use, the development of coherent units of measure made it particularly suitable for science and engineering.

Question: Based on this passage, measurement system whose divisions are powers of ten? Let's give stream of consciousness first:
The relevant information is: From its beginning, the main features of the metric system were the standard set of interrelated base units and a standard set of prefixes in powers of ten. Therefore, the final answer is the metric system.
