According to the (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), "The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent, as given in Table 1."

"Other quantities, called derived quantities, are defined in terms of the seven base quantities via a system of quantity equations. The SI derived units for these derived quantities are obtained from these equations and the seven SI base units. Examples of such SI derived units are given in Table 2, where it should be noted that the symbol 1 for quantities of dimension 1 such as mass fraction is generally omitted. "
