How to convert kilohms to megohms
MΩ = kΩ × 0.001Multiply the value in kilohms by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A kilohm is smaller than a megohm: it takes 1,000 kilohms to make one megohm.

About the units
Kilohm (kΩ)
The kilohm (kΩ) is a unit of electric resistance in the International System of Units (SI). One kilohm equals 1,000 ohms (Ω).
Megohm (MΩ)
The megohm (MΩ) is a unit of electric resistance in the International System of Units (SI). One megohm equals 1,000,000 ohms (Ω).
Frequently asked questions
How many megohms are in one kilohm?
There are 0.001 megohms in one kilohm, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilohms to megohms?
Multiply the number of kilohms by 0.001. For example, 10 kΩ × 0.001 = 0.01 MΩ.
How many kilohms are in one megohm?
One megohm equals 1,000 kilohms. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 kilohms in megohms?
10 kΩ = 0.01 MΩ.
Is this kΩ to MΩ converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
