One kilohm equals exactly 1,000 ohms. Multiply the kΩ value by 1,000 to get ohms.
Standard E12 series kilohm values include 1 kΩ, 1.2 kΩ, 1.5 kΩ, 1.8 kΩ, 2.2 kΩ, 2.7 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ, 3.9 kΩ, 4.7 kΩ, 5.6 kΩ, 6.8 kΩ, and 8.2 kΩ.
Multiply 5.3 by 1,000 to get 5,300 Ω.
Kilohms simplify notation. Writing 4.7 kΩ is clearer and less error-prone than writing 4,700 Ω, especially in circuit schematics and component lists.
For example, a 4.7 kΩ resistor uses yellow-violet-red bands. The third band indicates the multiplier (red = ×100), giving 47 × 100 = 4,700 Ω = 4.7 kΩ.
