How many millivolts are in one kilovolt?

There are 1,000,000 millivolts in 1 kilovolt.

How do you convert millivolts to kilovolts?

Multiply the number of millivolts by 0.000001 — or use the formula kV = mV ÷ 1,000,000.

What is 6 millivolts in kilovolts?

6 millivolts is 0.000006 kilovolts. 6 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000006 kilovolts.

Is the millivolts to kilovolts conversion exact?

Yes. The relationship is fixed by definition, so 0.000001 is an exact conversion factor — only the displayed result is rounded.

Millivolts to Kilovolts formula

kV = mV ÷ 1,000,000

The millivolts to kilovolts conversion factor is 0.000001, which is exact by definition. 1 millivolt = 0.000001 kilovolts, and 1 kilovolt = 1,000,000 millivolts.

Worked examples

2 millivolts = 0.000002 kilovolts — 2 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000002 kilovolts
6 millivolts = 0.000006 kilovolts — 6 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000006 kilovolts
10 millivolts = 0.00001 kilovolts — 10 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.00001 kilovolts

When you need to convert millivolts to kilovolts

Comparing specifications written for a different market.
Checking a figure quoted in an unfamiliar unit before acting on it.
Converting values consistently across a spreadsheet, report or shopping list.

Common mistakes to avoid

Dividing when you should multiply. Because 1 millivolt = 0.000001 kilovolts, the answer should be smaller than the number you started with.
Rounding too early. Convert first at full precision, then round the final answer to the precision the task actually needs.

How precise does the answer need to be?

Round only at the end, and only to the precision your task actually needs. The converter above keeps full double precision internally and rounds for display.

How these units are defined

Millivolt (mV): One thousandth of a volt. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
Kilovolt (kV): One thousand volts. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
