Kilonewton to meganewton converter (kN to MN)

Conversion Formula

1 kN = 0.001000 MN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilonewton = 1,000.0 newtons
   1 Meganewton = 1,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kN = (1,000.0 N) / (1,000,000 N/MN) = 0.001000 MN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kN by 0.001000 to get the equivalent in MN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kN to MN:

5 kN × 0.001000 = 0.005000 MN
