The general use of "k" to represent 1000 comes from kilo,the SI unit for 1000. Ie 1 kilogram (kg) is 1000 grams.


What is the value of the roman numeral k?

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.
