Hekto-, deka-, deci- and centi- (100, 10, 1/10, 1/100 rsp.) are the only ones with the decimal exponents not being multiples of three, but just the same widely used whenever SI-units are used at all, probably the most frequently used ones of all of them.
Example: women's clothes are measured in cm, beer barrels and all beer production are measured in hectoliters. Want more?
