Convert pico to mega

Learn how to convert 1 pico to mega step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p i c o) = x (m e g a)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f p i c o i s 10^{- 12}

T h e v a l u e o f m e g a i s 10^{6}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p i c o) = x (m e g a)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 12} = x \times 10^{6}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 12} = x \cdot 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

10^{- 12} = x \times 10^{6}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{6} = 10^{- 12}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{6}})

x \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{6}} = 10^{- 12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{6}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{6}} = 10^{- 12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 12}}{10^{6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{6}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 6}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 6} \times 10^{- 12}

Simplify

x = 10^{- 18}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 18}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p i c o) = 10^{- 18} (m e g a)
