Convert Megavolts to Kilovolts
Input the number of megavolts you want to convert to kilovolts.
How to Convert Megavolts to Kilovolts
The megavolt and kilovolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 megavolt equals exactly 1000 kilovolts. This means to convert megavolts to kilovolts, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MV to kilovolts:
We need to convert megavolts to kilovolts
Since 1 MV = 1000 kV, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 MV = 5000 kV
