Kilo means 1000 units and milli means 1/1000 of a unit
Milli and kilo aren't units, they are prefixes. Metric unit for length is the metre, this means all lengths are measured in metres. A millimetre is just another way of writing 0.001 metre, it isn't a different unit its a fraction of a metre. In the same way a kilometre is an abbreviation of 1 000 metre. Unlike older systems there is one unit for each measurement. Inch, foot, yard, mile are all used to measure length but they are all distinct units. In metric there is only the metre, we add prefixes to show fractions or multiples of metres, but the unit is still metres. The prefixes between milli and kilo are, milli (0.001), base unit, and kilo((1 000). On official list there are centi (0.01), deci (0.1), deca (10), and hect (100), but these are hardly ever used, the preference being for jumps of thousands.
If mwatt stands for milliwatts, then there are 0.000001 kilowatts (kW) in 1 milliwatt (mW). There are 1000 kilowatts in 1 megawatt (MW). To make these conversions, you can use the meaning of the prefixes kilo-, milli-, and mega-. While the prefix kilo- represents 1000, milli- stands for one thousandth and mega- denotes one million.
Kilo is a prefix for metric measurements that's used to determine how much of something. It equals 1000 times its base unit (so 1 kilogram = 1000 kilograms, 1 kiloliter = 1000 liters). It is sometimes called a prefix multiplier (like milli, centi, deca, mega, giga). I think what you're looking for is the meaning when people say that weighs a kilo. A kilo, by itself, usually refers to a kilogram (1000 grams).
That depends on what type of unit you are talking about (such as length, mass, time, etc.); but generally, a base unit is used (for instance, the meter for length), then prefixes (such as kilo, mega, Giga, Tera..., milli, micro, nano, pico...) are attached to create larger and smaller derived units.
1 milli-kelvin is equal to 0.001 degrees Celsius.
A milli is a 1/1000 whereas a kilo is a 1000
The prefix kilo- is larger. Kilo- means thousand. The prefix milli- means thousandth.
kilo = 1,000 mega = 1,000,000 milli = 0.001 (or 1/1000)
It is kilo, not killo. milli = 1/1000 and kilo = 1000 so a kilo represents a much bigger amount.
no. kilo is 1,000 times larger than 1. milli is 1,000 times smaller than one; therefore kilo is a factor of 1,000,000 larger than milli
The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.
Yes.
You divide by a million. milli means times 1/1000, kilo means times 1000.You divide by a million. milli means times 1/1000, kilo means times 1000.You divide by a million. milli means times 1/1000, kilo means times 1000.You divide by a million. milli means times 1/1000, kilo means times 1000.
Milli means 1000th kg means 1000 which is greater one Millie or 1 kg
Mega, kilo, milli, and micro are prefixes used in the metric system to denote multiples or fractions of a base unit. Mega represents one million, kilo represents one thousand, milli represents one thousandth, and micro represents one millionth.
Kilo and milli are both modifiers for SI units. Kilo means 1000 times the base unit, so a kilometer is 1000 meters, a kilogram is 1000 grams, etc. Milli means 1 thousandth (.001) so a millimeter is .001 meters.
Kilograms. The metric system prefixes are as follows: Kilo- Hecto- Deka- Base unit Deci- Centi- Milli- Kilo- is the largest and milli- is the smallest.
