Kiloohm (kΩ) to Megaohm (MΩ) Conversion
👋 Welcome to the kΩ to MΩ Conversion tool! This calculator helps you convert resistance from kiloohms to megaohms. 🚀
Conversion Formula 🔄
The relationship between kiloohms and megaohms can be expressed as:
MΩ = kΩ / 1000Where:
- MΩ = Megaohms
- kΩ = Kiloohms
Example Calculation
If you have a resistance of 5000 kΩ, the calculation would be:
MΩ = 5000 kΩ / 1000 = 5 MΩUnderstanding kΩ and MΩ 🧠
What is a Kiloohm (kΩ)?
A kiloohm (kΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to 1,000 ohms. It is commonly used in electronics to describe the resistance of components.
What is a Megaohm (MΩ)?
A megaohm (MΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to 1,000,000 ohms. It is often used to measure high resistance values in electrical components.
Why Convert kΩ to MΩ?
Converting kiloohms to megaohms is useful for understanding the resistance values of high-resistance components, especially in circuit design and analysis.

Kiloohm to Megaohm Conversion FAQs
Kiloohms (kΩ) and Megaohms (MΩ) are units of electrical resistance. The prefix ‘kilo’ means 1,000 and ‘mega’ means 1,000,000, so:
This means that 1 Megaohm is equal to 1,000 Kiloohms.
To convert from Kiloohms to Megaohms:
For example:
- 2,200 kΩ = 2.2 MΩ
- 4,700 kΩ = 4.7 MΩ
- 10,000 kΩ = 10 MΩ
To convert from Megaohms to Kiloohms:
Kiloohms are typically used when:
- Working with smaller resistance values (less than 1 MΩ)
- Reading electronic component specifications
- Designing circuits with low to moderate resistance values
Megaohms are used for high resistance applications, such as insulation testing.
Common resistor values can be expressed in both kΩ and MΩ:
- A “2.2M” resistor = 2.2 MΩ = 2,200 kΩ
- A “10M” resistor = 10 MΩ = 10,000 kΩ
- A “100k” resistor = 100 kΩ = 0.1 MΩ
This notation is commonly used in circuit diagrams and component specifications.
When using Ohm’s Law (V = IR), ensure your resistance units are consistent:
Remember to convert MΩ to Ω before calculating, or adjust your final answer accordingly.
