A way of making large numbers more manageable 100,000 Volts Kilo-Volts We divide the number by ,000  1000 = 100 kV Mega-Volts We divide the number by  1000 = 0.1 MV

A way of making large numbers more manageable 1,245,000 Volts Kilo-Volts We divide the number by ,245,000  1000 = 1,245 kV Mega-Volts We divide the number by ,245  1000 = MV

A way of making Small numbers more manageable 0.000,001 Volts milli-Volts We multiply the number by ,001 x 1000 = mV micro-Volts We multiply the number by x 1000 = 1 µV

A way of making Small numbers more manageable 0.000,258,1 Volts milli-Volts We multiply the number by ,258,1 x 1000 = 0.258,1 mV micro-Volts We multiply the number by ,1 x 1000 = µV

If we want to convert back to a base unit 1,245,000 µV mV We divide the number by ,245,000  1000 = 1,245 mV V We divide the number by ,245  1000 = V

If we want to convert back to a base unit 1.25 MV kV We multiply the number by x 1000 = 1,250 kV Volts We multiply the number by ,250 x 1000 = 1,250,000 V

If we want to convert a number to a multiple above µV mV We divide the number by  1000 = 1.25 µV 0.001,25 mV

If we want to convert a number to a multiple below mV V We multiply the number by x 1000 = 1.25 V 1,250 mV
