Mega- (symbol M) is an SI prefix in the SI system of units denoting a factor of 10^6, 1,000,000 (one million).
For example, 1 MW (megawatt) = 1,000,000 watts = 1,000 kilowatts.
Confirmed in 1960, it comes from the Greek μέγας, meaning great

Mega means "a whole lotta" and I don't believe that any cross reference number is used, it's just a word out side of any specific industry. If you find it associated with an industry, look at that industry and see if there is a value.
