"K" for 1000 has become more generally popular that "M" for 1000. The K comes from measurement (kilo) whereas the M is the Roman numeral for 1000. However, in banking and business people still commonly use M for 1000 and MM for 1,000,000. This can be confusing because if you don't know that then you may assume 10M means 10 million rather than 10 thousand.

If K equals 1000 what does one million equals?
K=1,000 | Thousand M=1,000,000 | Million G=1,000,000,000 | Billion This is as far as my knowledge takes me, hope this helps!!
If K is short for hundred thousand what is the letter sign for million?
K is short for Kilo and also for thousand, M is short of Mega and also for million, G is short for Giga and for billion, followed by: * Tera -- trillion * Peta -- quadrillion * Exa -- quintillion * Zetta -- sextillion ...and from there, you're on your own ;}
How many ten thousand are there in eight million?
There are eight million/ten thousand = eight hundred.
Is 1000k 1 million?
Technically, yes. One thousand can be abbreviated as 'k' so 1000k would be 1 million. 5k would be five thousand, 125k would be one hundred and twenty-five thousand and so on. However the symbol for one million is M so the number 1,000,000 would more appropriately be abbreviated as 1M.
Does mm mean thousand or million?
MM means Millions in the business world... M means thousands. K is not typically used in finance. For example: $25MM would mean $25 Million where $25M would mean $25 Thousand. +++ That may be so in America, but not elsewhere. The use of M for 'Thousand' would be potentially very confusing for international trade, journalism or travel used to 'M' = Million whether counting currency units, people or physical dimensions. That use of M is reflected in the ISO-SI measurements system, and IS used to mean million in finance as well as, say, tonnes of goods, in Britain and Europe. East of the Atlantic - and no doubt West of the Pacific - $25M = $25 Million.
