How to convert kilo to micro
µ = k × 1,000,000,000Multiply the value in kilo by 1,000,000,000. To go the other way, multiply by 1×10⁻⁹ (or divide by 1,000,000,000).
A kilo is larger than a micro: one kilo contains 1,000,000,000 micro.

About the units
Kilo (k)
The kilo (k) is a unit of si prefixes in the International System of Units (SI). One kilo equals 1,000 base units (—).
Micro (µ)
The micro (µ) is a unit of si prefixes in the International System of Units (SI). One micro equals 0.000001 base units (—).
Frequently asked questions
How many micro are in one kilo?
There are 1,000,000,000 micro in one kilo, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilo to micro?
Multiply the number of kilo by 1,000,000,000. For example, 10 k × 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000 µ.
How many kilo are in one micro?
One micro equals 1×10⁻⁹ kilo. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000,000,000.
What is 10 kilo in micro?
10 k = 10,000,000,000 µ.
Is this k to µ 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.
