The time in seconds is equal to the milliseconds divided by 1,000.
Milliseconds and seconds are both units used to measure time. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Milliseconds
The millisecond is a multiple of the second, which is the SI base unit for time. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for 10-3. Milliseconds can be abbreviated as ms; for example, 1 millisecond can be written as 1 ms.

According the to SI definition, the second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the unperturbed ground state of the caesium 133 atom.[1]
The second is the SI base unit for time in the metric system. Seconds can be abbreviated as sec; for example, 1 second can be written as 1 sec.
