How to Convert Megaohms to Kiloohms
To convert megaohms to kiloohms, multiply the electrical resistance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 kiloohms/megaohm.
Since one megaohm is equal to 1,000 kiloohms, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kiloohms = megaohms × 1,000
The electrical resistance in kiloohms is equal to the electrical resistance in megaohms multiplied by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 megaohms to kiloohms using the formula above.
kiloohms = (5 MΩ × 1,000) = 5,000 kΩ
How Many Kiloohms Are in a Megaohm?
There are 1,000 kiloohms in a megaohm, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ
Megaohms and kiloohms are both units used to measure electrical resistance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Megaohm?
One megaohm is equal to 1,000,000 ohms. A megaohm is the resistance across a conductor with an electrical potential difference of 1,000,000 volts with one ampere of current flowing through it.
The megaohm is a multiple of the ohm, the SI derived unit for electrical resistance. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megaohms can be abbreviated as MΩ; for example, 1 megaohm can be written as 1 MΩ.

What Is a Kiloohm?
One kiloohm is equal to 1,000 ohms. A kiloohm is the resistance across a conductor with an electrical potential difference of 1,000 volts with one ampere of current flowing through it.
The kiloohm is a multiple of the ohm, the SI derived unit for electrical resistance. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kiloohms can be abbreviated as kΩ; for example, 1 kiloohm can be written as 1 kΩ.
