How to Convert Newtons to Kilonewtons
To convert newtons to kilonewtons, divide the value by 1000.
The Formula
Kilonewtons = Newtons ÷ 1000
Key Fact
1 kilonewton = 1000 newtons
Tip: To convert kilonewtons back to newtons, multiply by 1000.
Newtons to Kilonewtons
Convert newtons (N) to kilonewtons (kN) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
N
kN
1 N = 0.001 kN
Full precision:0.001 kN
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 newtons to kilonewtons, we divide by 1000 because one kilonewton equals exactly 1000 newtons.
1 kilonewton = 1000 newtons
Since there are 1000 newtons in every kilonewton, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kilonewtons
So 1 newtons = 0.001 kilonewtons.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 newtons
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 N = 0.001 kN
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 N = 0.005 kN
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 N = 0.01 kN
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
