About Converting Megaohms to Kiloohms
Megaohm and Kiloohm both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Megaohm is 1000000 ohm units, and kiloohm is 1000 ohm units.
Formula
kiloohms = megaohms × 1000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megaohm equals 1000000 base units, and 1 kiloohm equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megaohm-to-kiloohm factor of 1000.
Simple example
1 MOhm × 1000 = 1,000 kOhm
1 megaohm = 1,000 kiloohms.
Real-world example
120 MOhm × 1000 = 120,000 kOhm
120 megaohms = 120,000 kiloohms.

Frequently asked questions
How many kiloohms are in 1 megaohm?
1 megaohm equals 1,000 kiloohms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert megaohm to kiloohm?
Multiply the megaohm value by 1000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kiloohm back to megaohm?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloohm equals 0.001 megaohms. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a megaohm?
Megaohm (MOhm) is a unit of electricity.
What is a kiloohm?
Kiloohm (kOhm) is a unit of electricity.
Is the megaohm to kiloohm conversion exact?
Yes. Both megaohm and kiloohm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
