How the formula works
Both millivolt and kilovolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in millivolts by 0.000001 to get kilovolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a kilovolt value by 1.000000e+06 to get back to millivolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Millivolt (mV)?
A Millivolt (mV) equals 1/1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for milli-scale electrical work.
What is Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
How do I convert millivolts to kilovolts?
Multiply the millivolt value by 0.000001 to get the equivalent in kilovolts. For example, 5 mV × 0.000001 = 0.000005 kV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.000001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert kilovolts back to millivolts?
Yes. Divide the kilovolt value by 0.000001, or multiply it by 1.000000e+06, to get millivolts.
