How the formula works
Both kiloohm and megaohm measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kiloohms by 0.001 to get megaohms. To reverse the conversion, multiply a megaohm value by 1000 to get back to kiloohms.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kiloohm (kΩ)?
A Kiloohm (kΩ) equals 1,000 ohm(s), a scaled unit of electrical resistance used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Megaohm (MΩ)?
A Megaohm (MΩ) equals 1e+6 ohm(s), a scaled unit of electrical resistance used for mega-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kiloohms to megaohms?
Multiply the kiloohm value by 0.001 to get the equivalent in megaohms. For example, 5 kΩ × 0.001 = 0.005 MΩ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert megaohms back to kiloohms?
Yes. Divide the megaohm value by 0.001, or multiply it by 1000, to get kiloohms.
