In Finance, Accounting or Forex, this symbol (K) means 1.000 units. Just like a kilogramme means 1.000 grammes.
K= 1000 so it means 2,100 Rupees.
1 k is equal to Rs.1000/-
K stands for thousand, so if someone says they have one k it means they have 1000 pounds. I hope this helps you. Additionally k means kilo and kilo means thousand :)
The letter k refers to a sub-section of Section 401 of Internal Revenue Code.In 1978, Congress amended the Internal Revenue Code by adding section 401(k), whereby employees are not taxed on income they choose to receive as deferred compensation rather than direct compensation.The law went into effect on January 1, 1980, and by 1983 almost half of large firms were either offering a 401(k) plan or considering doing so.
401k is a section of the US Tax Code which describes a particular retirement plan. Section 401a describes a different plan. The letter is a subsection of chapter 401 of the Tax Code.
I believe in latin "kilo" means 1000, k is short for kilo.
K
k is used to represent 1000, from the latin "kilo". However, it is also used to represent 1024 ( = 210) in information technology. So, depending on the context, the answer is 1,000,000 or 1,024,000
Capital K = kelvin, a unit of temperature 0 K = absolute zero = -273 degrees Celsius Lower-case k = kilo, a prefix meaning 1000 k = kilo = 1000 kilometer = 1000 meters kilogram = 1000 grams kilobyte = 1000 bytes etc....
because it was A O K about it.
1000 = M
k often represents 1000 the multiple, not a fraction.
It has to do with temperature but K does not represent Kelvin. Here is a site that might help you: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/stars/startypes.shtml
The general use of "k" to represent 1000 comes from kilo,the SI unit for 1000. Ie 1 kilogram (kg) is 1000 grams.
The letter K is not used in Roman Numerals. At one time the symbol K was one of several symbols which were used to represent the number 50 but the system was eventually standardised and L became the standard form for 50. BETTER ANSWER; K is not a Roman numeral. It is from our own alphabet and is actually short for Kilo, which normally represents the 1000 multiple of a unit. When we measure by mass, a kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. When the letter K is used the way you gave in your example, 40K, it means: 40 x 1000 or 40,000 miles. If you check the business or real estate section of your newspaper you will see ads that say, for example, $130K. That means: 130 x 1000 or 130,000 dollars. So "K" is a multiplier by 1000.
K stand for Kilo. kilo is the measurement of 1000 grams! Thus 1k is 1000, 300k is 300,000
The prefix "k" is the short term for "kilo" which means "1000". It is used often such as in "kilo"grams ("k"g)(1000 grams) or "kilo"meters ("k"m)(1000 meters).
