The result of converting 67 k to c is 67,000 c.
When you convert from k (kilo-) to c (centi-), you are moving between two metric prefixes that change the base unit’s magnitude. 1 k means 1,000 units, while 1 c means 0.01 units. Therefore, 67 k equals 67,000 c, since you multiply the kilo value by 1000 and then by 100 for centi, or just by 100,000 directly.

Conversion Formula
To convert from k to c, you need to remember both are metric prefixes. 1 k (kilo) equals 1,000, while 1 c (centi) is 1/100 or 0.01. Since you’re converting larger units to smaller ones, you multiply by 100,000. The formula is:
Value in c = Value in k × 100,000
This works because 1 k = 1,000 base units, and 1 base unit = 100 c. So, 1 k = 1,000 × 100 = 100,000 c. Here’s a step-by-step using 67 k:
- Start with 67 k.
- Multiply 67 by 1,000 to get base units: 67 × 1,000 = 67,000 units.
- Each base unit equals 100 c, so multiply 67,000 × 100 = 6,700,000 c.
- But the shortcut is 67 × 100,000 = 6,700,000 c.
- Wait, the last step is wrong, 67 × 100,000 = 6,700,000 c. But for 67 k (where k is 1,000 units), to centi (0.01), you multiply by 100,000.
- So, 67 × 100,000 = 6,700,000 c.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: 10 k to c
- Start with 10 k.
- Multiply 10 × 100,000 = 1,000,000 c.
- Example 2: 25.3 k to c
- Use 25.3 k.
- 25.3 × 100,000 = 2,530,000 c.
- Example 3: 0.5 k to c
- Begin with 0.5 k.
- 0.5 × 100,000 = 50,000 c.
- Example 4: 72 k to c
- Start with 72 k.
- 72 × 100,000 = 7,200,000 c.

Conversion Definitions
k (kilo-): The prefix “k” stands for kilo-, means 1,000 times the base unit in the metric system. Used to express large quantities, for example, 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, and 1 kilogram is 1,000 grams. Kilo- helps simplify expressing big numbers by shortening them.
c (centi-): The prefix “c” means centi-, which equals one hundredth (1/100) of the base unit. In the metric system, centi- is used for smaller measurements, like centimeters (1/100 of a meter). It helps show fine or detailed measurements without a lot of zeros.
Conversion FAQs
Does the direction of conversion affect the math between k and c?
Yes, converting from k to c you multiply by 100,000, but if converting from c to k you would divide by 100,000. So, direction changes if you multiply or divide, always watch out for that.
Why do I have to multiply by 100,000 when going from k to c?
Because k is 1,000 times the base unit, and c is 1/100 of it, so the difference between them is 100,000. To get from k to c, you bridge both prefixes, and that’s why the big jump in numbers.
Can you use this conversion for any metric base unit?
Absolutely! Whether it’s meters, grams, liters, or anything else in metric, the relationship between k and c always stays the same. The prefixes work across all base units, so formulas don’t change.
If I make a mistake multiplying, will my answer be far off?
Definitely, since the factor is so large, even a tiny slip in calculation can throw your result way off. Always double-check the zeros, lots of people sometimes miss a digit or two, which ruins the conversion.
