In converting measurements, you must take note of the prefixes.

Note that a kilo is 1000 times the base measurement.

Example :

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 kilogram = 1000 gram

From the given problem :

1 kiloohm = 1000 ohm

17 ohms will be :


17\cancel{\text{ohms}}*\frac{1\text{kiloohm}}{1000\cancel{\text{ohm}}}=(17)/(1000)=0.017\text{kiloohm}

The answer is 0.017 kiloohm
