One Way to Memorize the SI Prefixes 

Every  Player  That  Gets Mangled  May    Never  Play   Football   Again 

Exa     Peta    Tera  Giga Mega      Micro  Nano   Pico    Femto    Atto 

1018  1015   1012   109   106         10-6  10-9    10-12  10-15    10-18                                                   

The first letter of each word represents the first letter in a prefix.  The large prefixes are in the 

beginning, the small prefixes are at the end.  The very common prefixes of kilo, centi, mill, etc are omitted in the middle of the mnemonic.  You may also notice that all of the exponents are spaced apart by values of 3.
