1m is 1/1000 of 1km.

In international units, different prefixes can be used to express different relative quantities in units. In the above example, the prefix kilo- (abbreviated k), meaning "one thousand," is applied to the standard measurement of length, the meter (m). This signifies that the new unit being discussed, the kilometer, is 1000 times greater than a meter. The same method can be used with any other international unit and prefix.
