How it works
Both units measure number, so they are always in the same ratio: one million equals 1,000 thousands. The calculator multiplies the number of million you type by 1,000 to give thousands, and when you type into the thousands field it divides by the same factor to give million. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the million always doubles the thousands. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation).
How to convert million to thousands
- Write down the value in million, for example 1 million.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 1,000 (because 1 million = 1,000 thousand).
- 1 × 1,000 = 1,000 thousand.
- To go back from thousands to million, divide by 1,000 – or multiply by 0.001.
