| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| MΩ | Megaohm |
| kΩ | Kiloohm |
Megaohms to Kiloohms examples
1 MΩ
1 MΩ × 1,000 = 1,000 kΩ.
10 MΩ
10 MΩ × 1,000 = 10,000 kΩ.
100 MΩ
100 MΩ × 1,000 = 100,000 kΩ.
Megaohms compared with Kiloohms
One MΩ is 1,000 times as large as one kΩ, so your number gets bigger when you convert megaohms to kiloohms and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About megaohms and kiloohms

Megaohms to Kiloohms FAQ
How many kΩ are in 1 MΩ?
1 MΩ equals 1,000 kΩ.
How many MΩ are in 1 kΩ?
1 kΩ equals 0.001 MΩ.
Is 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (1,000). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a kiloohm (kΩ)?
Kiloohm, 1,000 Ω.
How can I estimate megaohms to kiloohms in my head?
One MΩ is 1,000 times as large as one kΩ, so your number gets bigger when you convert megaohms to kiloohms and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 0.5 MΩ in kiloohms?
0.5 MΩ = 500 kΩ (since 0.5 × 1,000).
What is 25 MΩ in kiloohms?
25 MΩ = 25,000 kΩ (since 25 × 1,000).
What is 80 MΩ in kiloohms?
80 MΩ = 80,000 kΩ (since 80 × 1,000).
How many decimals should I keep when converting MΩ to kΩ?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 10,000 kΩ rounds to 10,000 kΩ at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
