This can happen on small keyboards without a separate number pad, such as keyboards commonly used in portable computers.

These often have a way to enable the number pad by switching the function of several regular keys to those of the number pad. While there is no strict rule, the keys U, I O, P, J, K, L, ; and N are typically affected by this.

To enable and disable this feature, look for a key with a label akin to "NumLk" or "NumPad", which typically needs activating combined with a special function key (often labelled "Fn"). These keys are often labelled in blue.

What K mean?

The letter"K" has several uses in today's culture. Without knowing to which context you speak of, it is hard to know which use you mean. K is the abriviation for Kilometer, and is often heard in regards to running and marathons. A number with a lower case k after it is another use for "k". This means "thousands" of a number. For instance, 2k is 2,000. The exception to the number/letter k combination is 401(k), which is a type of retirement account. Also, some people who are very lazy about writing things out will say "k" instead of "okay."
