Converting from Centi (c) to Atto (a) in SI Prefixes

What is Centi (c)

Centi, denoted by the symbol c, is a metric prefix representing a factor of 10^-2 or 1/100. It is commonly used in the International System of Units (SI) to denote subunits of the base unit.

What is Atto (a)

Atto, symbolized by a, is an SI prefix indicating a factor of 10^-18 or 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000. It is one of the smallest SI prefixes and is used to represent extremely minute quantities.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion from Centi to Atto can be done using the following formula:

1 centi (c) = 10¹⁶ atto (a)

1 atto (a) = 10^-16 centi (c)

Examples

1. Converting 17 centi to atto:

17(c)=17×10¹⁶=170,000,000,000,000,000(a)

2. Converting 7 atto to centi:

7(a)=7×10⁻¹⁶=0.0000000000000007(c)

3. If we convert 16 centi to atto:

16(c)=16×10¹⁶=160,000,000,000,000,000(a)
