Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factor has a mixture of F, S, U, and P symbols with some numerical values, making it difficult to identify the unit prefix. However, we can group the symbols into pairs of F and either S or P, separated by a single U. Using this grouping, we can see that the pair F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 corresponds to the unit prefix micro (µ), and the pair F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 appears twice, which means it should be squared, resulting in the prefix square micro (µ^2). The remaining symbols are U1P1S1S1P0, which correspond to no prefix because they do not have any F symbols. Therefore, the symbol and name for the factor are µ².
