quetta-
21

It is another prefix recently adopted by the International System, along with Quetta and Ronna for multiples and quecto and ronto for submultiples. They are represented as follows: Queta as Q, Ronna as R, Quecto as q and ronto as r. In this case Quetta means or indicates a factor of 10 (raised to 30 power) and is called a quintillion, in the Long Scale) and is used for multiples or infinitely large parts. It is a the 10 followed by 30 zeros. Quetta (symbol Q) is a prefix adopted by Sistema Internacional in 2022. It is clarified that in the Short Scale used by Spanish-speaking countries the Quetta would be called 1 Nonillon (because our system uses 3 zeros less).

It is a prefix for a value raised to the thirtieth power, such as 10³ 8304; . It is taken from Greek 948; 949; 954; 945; ( deka "ten" ) , and this needs two explanations: first, the 10 is because it counts groups of thousands, of three zeros, and hence the '30' because three zeros (000) by 10 gives the 10 followed by 30 zeros as it has the power of the example [note: in the case of the byte that is binary and always counts of thousands, a quettabyte does look like 2¹ 8304;]; and the name is modified to use a Q as its symbol, which had no previous use that could be confused.
