    One millionth is equal to 0.000 001, or 1 x 10 −6 in scientific notation. It is the reciprocal of a million, and can be also written as 1 ⁄ 1,000,000. [1] Units using this fraction can be indicated using the prefix "micro-" from Greek, meaning "small". [2] Numbers of this quantity are expressed in terms of μ (the Greek letter mu). [3]
