Look up kilo-in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Kilo (from the Greek ÏÎ¯Î»Î¹Î¿Î¹, literally a thousand) is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting multiplication by one thousand. It has been used in the International System of Units where it has the unit symbol k, in lower case.t uses kilo as meaning 2 10 = 1024, because of the mathematical coincidence that 2 10 is approximately 10 3. The reason for this application is that binary values natively used in computing are base 2 and not the base 10 which is used for the SI prefixes.
Kilogram is the primary unit of mass in the SI system. Kilo is a prefix meaning 1000 and is part of official SI nomenclature. Itâs intended to be applied to SI units such as meters, grams and Hz. It would be perfectly appropriate to apply it to other SI units such as kelvins, seconds and so on, although thatâs less frequent.
