Convert Megohms to Kilohms
Type the number of megohms that you wish to convert to kilohms.
How to Convert Megohms to Kilohms
The megohm and kilohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 megohm equals exactly 1000 kilohms. This means to convert megohms to kilohms, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MΩ to kilohms:
We need to convert megohms to kilohms
Since 1 MΩ = 1000 kΩ, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 MΩ = 5000 kΩ

About These Units
Megohm (MΩ)
A megohm (MΩ) equals 1,000,000 ohms or 1,000 kilohms. Used for insulation resistance testing (should be >1 MΩ), high-impedance circuits, input resistance of oscilloscopes (1-10 MΩ), and anti-static resistors.
Kilohm (kΩ)
A kilohm (kΩ) equals 1,000 ohms. The most common resistor value range: 1kΩ-100kΩ. Pull-up/pull-down resistors: 4.7kΩ-10kΩ typical. Potentiometer standard values: 1kΩ, 10kΩ, 100kΩ. Audio volume controls often 10kΩ-100kΩ.
