When the metric system was created, the inventors used the Greek word for 1000, kilo, as the prefix meaning 1000. They used the Latin word for 1000, mill, as the prefix meaning 1/1000.
The prefix that is used to express 1000 times is milli. That is why you will find units like milligrams, millimetres and so on.

There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.The prefix kilo- means "1000".Examples:kilogram is one thousand gramskilohertz is one thousand oscillations per secondkilovolt is one thousand voltskilobyte is roughly one thousand bytes of storage (used because 210, or 1024, is the power of two closest to 1000 bytes: it is easily close enough to one thousand, or one kilo-, for describing computer storage in general terms).kilometre is 1,000 metres, because kilo means thousand1000 metres in a kilometre1800 metres. 1km = 1000m.There are 1000 meters in a kilometer1000 m1 Kilometer is equal to 1000 Meters.The prefix "Kilo-" means 1000, or 10^3. It works the same for other Metric "Bases"1 Kilometer = 1000 Meters1 Kilogram = 1000 Grams1 kilowatt = 1000 watt1000there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.There are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer1km=1000m1000 m= 1 km1,000 meters = 1 kilometer
The letter "k" is used to denote the metric prefix kilo (1000), which is a metric prefix. you would not measure miles in kilomiles. But if you were to, 50k miles would be 50,000 miles.
