Convert kilo to mega

Learn how to convert 1 kilo to mega step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (k i l o) = x (m e g a)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f k i l o i s 10^{3}

T h e v a l u e o f m e g a i s 10^{6}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (k i l o) = x (m e g a)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{3} = x \times 10^{6}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{3} = x \cdot 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

10^{3} = x \times 10^{6}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

10^{3} = x \times {10^{6}}^{10^{3}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 10^{3}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{3} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{3}})

x \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{3}} = \times \frac{1.0}{10^{3}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{3}} = \frac{1.0}{10^{3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{10^{3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 3}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (k i l o) = 10^{- 3} (m e g a)
