Those prefixes are usually used to denote a value that is a power of 10, most specifically in the metric system. In this case, kilo would be 10^3, hecto would be 10^2, deca is 10^1, deci is 10^(-1), centi is 10^(-2) and milli is 10^(-3), where "^" means "to the power of". This yields the following values: kilo = 1000, hecto = 100, deca = 10, deci = .1, centi = .01, and milli = .001.
