What does the prefix yotta represent?

Yotta (symbol Y) denotes a factor of 10^24, representing very large decimal multiples of base units.

How is deka different from yotta?

Deka (symbol da) stands for a factor of 10, which is much smaller than yotta's 10^24, used for intermediate scale measurements.

Why convert from yotta to deka?

Converting from yotta to deka helps express enormous values in smaller, more practical units suitable for specific scientific and industrial applications.
