Greek numerical prefixes[1] are prefixes derived from the Greek language which are for naming things like polygons, polyhedra and polynomials. They are used in the names of numerous googolisms, such as tritri and chilialogue, or hyperoperators such as tetration.

List

  • hen-, mon(o)- = 1
  • dy-, di- = 2
  • tri- = 3
  • tetr(a)- = 4
  • pent(a)- = 5
  • hex(a)- = 6
  • hept(a)- = 7
  • oct(o)-, octa- = 8
  • enne(a)- = 9
  • dec(a)- = 10
  • hecaton = 100
  • chili(o) = 1000
