Formula
Formula
MΩ = kΩ × 0.001
Multiply any value in kilo-ohms by 0.001 to obtain the value in mega-ohms.
Worked example
Convert 1000 kΩ to MΩ.
- 01Start with 1000 kΩ.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 MΩ.
Result1000 kΩ = 1 MΩ

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kΩ to MΩ?
1 kΩ equals 0.001 MΩ. To convert, multiply the value in kilo-ohms by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 kΩ to MΩ?
1 kΩ = 0.001 MΩ. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert MΩ back to kΩ?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 MΩ = 1000 kΩ.
When would I need to convert kilo-ohm to mega-ohm?
Resistance conversions between kΩ and MΩ are used in electrical-network analysis, instrumentation (RTD/thermistor specification), grounding and bonding measurements, and electronics design. Ohms cover most circuit calculations; kΩ and MΩ appear in input-impedance specs, while milli-ohms cover bus-bar joints and shunt resistors.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both kΩ and MΩ are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
