One watt equals 0.001 kilowatts. The kilo prefix means one thousand, so 1 kW = 1,000 W.
Divide the number of watts by 1,000 (or multiply by 0.001). For example, 750 W = 0.75 kW.
Watts are used for small appliances like light bulbs and phone chargers. Kilowatts are used for larger loads like air conditioners, ovens, and household electricity consumption.
Electricity is billed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If a 2,000 W heater runs for 3 hours, it consumes 2 kW × 3 h = 6 kWh.
