What does the prefix femto [f] represent?

Femto [f] denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵, indicating one quadrillionth of the base unit, often used to express extremely small magnitudes in science.

What is giga [G] used to indicate?

Giga [G] signifies a factor of 10⁹, representing one billion times the base unit, commonly used for very large quantities in various scientific and engineering fields.

Why is direct conversion between femto and giga units uncommon?

Because the scale difference is extremely large (10^24), such conversions are mostly theoretical or computational and rarely apply to everyday measurements.
