k = kilo = 1000 1 kilogram = 1000 grams 1 kilometer = 1000 meters Or for the americans, 1 k = 2.2046336 pounds It's very hard, sometimes, not to be a smart-aleck...

= 1000.

Gold purity is measured in karats.

Computer memory is measured in bytes, but a 'KB' is literally 1024 bytes. Most geeks round this off in casual conversation, as if a "half-gig" referred to 500MB and not the correct total of 512MB.
