Zetta is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 1021 or . The prefix was added as an SI prefix to the International System of Units (SI) in 1991 and has the symbol Z. Zetta is evocative of the Latin numeral ラテン語:''septem'', meaning "seven". Therefore it was used to denote the seventh power of 1000.〔 The names ''zepto'' and ''zetta'' are evocative of the numeral フランス語:''sept'' (seventh power of 10) and the letter 'z' is substituted for the letter 's' to avoid the duplicate use of the letter 's' as a symbol. }}〕 A prefix of the same value, ''hepta'', was informally introduced a few years before the promulgation of zetta. It was formed from the Greek (), also meaning "seven". ''Hepta'' never received official sanction and is obsolete. Zeta (), although being the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet, denotes a value of seven (7) when used as a numeral.

The zebibyte (ZiB) is a related unit that uses a binary prefix, and means 10247 bytes. ==See also== *Metric prefix 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zetta-」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
