It's a pneumonic device to remember the metric prefixes

King - Kilo (1x10^3)

Harold - Hector (1x10^2)

Died - Deka (1x10^1)

Mother - Base (1x10^0)

Doesn't - Deci (1x10^-1)

Care - Centi (1x10^-2)

Much - Mili (1x10^-3)

 

I always prefer "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk." But different strokes for different folks.

Wow, you got it right! I guess we are all taught similarly with units of measurement :thumbsup:
