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....
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
The general use of "k" to represent 1000 comes from kilo,the SI unit for 1000. Ie 1 kilogram (kg) is 1000 grams.
In Finance, Accounting or Forex, this symbol (K) means 1.000 units. Just like a kilogramme means 1.000 grammes.
Quantity K is metric for 1000. For units, it can also refer to Kelvin temperature. It can also refer to Kinetic energy.
M = 1000 but there is no current Roman numeral represented by a K, however in the past K was one of the many symbols used to represent 50, later standardised as L. So MK could represent 1050.
K means 1000 as a multiplier of 1000
