Because an SI unit may not have multiple prefixes (see [[SI prefix]]), prefixes are added to ''[[gram]]'', rather than the base unit ''kilogram'', which already has a prefix as part of its name.<ref>BIPM: SI Brochure: Section 3.2, ''[http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/section3-2.html The kilogram]'' {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160329162832/http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/section3-2.html |date=March 29, 2016 }}</ref> For instance, one-millionth of a kilogram is 1{{nbsp}}mg (one milligram), not 1{{nbsp}}μkg (one microkilogram).
