The prefix c means "centi" or 1/100

Explanation:

Just like there are 100 cm in 1 m, there are 100 cg in 1 g.
(and this goes for all SI-units)

So 567cg=567xx1/100g=5.67g

Note:
Except for cm, the c-prefix is hardly used. Mostly, we use multiples of thousands, like
k- =kilo=1000
M- =Mega=1000000
G- =Giga=1000000000
m- =milli=0.001
mu- = micro=0.000001
