Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kev to mev is dividing the kev value by 1000 because 1 mev equals 1000 kev. This works by recognizing the units are in kilo-electron volts and mega-electron volts, which are scaled by factors of 10^3.
For example, if you have 662 kev, then 662 divided by 1000 equals 0.662 mev. mathematically: 662 kev / 1000 = 0.662 mev.
Conversion Example
- Convert 700 kev to mev:
- Step 1: Write down the value: 700 kev
- Step 2: Divide by 1000: 700 / 1000
- Step 3: Result: 0.7 mev
- Convert 500 kev to mev:
- Step 1: Write down 500 kev
- Step 2: Divide by 1000: 500 / 1000
- Step 3: Result: 0.5 mev
- Convert 1000 kev to mev:
- Step 1: Write down 1000 kev
- Step 2: Divide by 1000: 1000 / 1000
- Step 3: Result: 1 mev

Conversion Definitions
Kev: A unit of energy called kilo-electron volts. It measures small amounts of energy, mainly used in nuclear and particle physics. 1 kev equals 1000 electron volts, an electron’s energy in a specific electric potential.
Mev: A unit of energy called mega-electron volts. It measures larger energy amounts in particle physics. 1 mev equals 1,000,000 electron volts, often used to describe particle masses or energies in high-energy experiments.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion from kev to mev?
The conversion from kev to mev is exact mathematically, as it’s just dividing by 1000, but the precision depends on the number of decimal places used. For most practical purposes, four decimal places are sufficient.
Why do physicists prefer mev over kev for high-energy particles?
Physicists prefer mev because it simplifies the numbers, making them easier to work with when dealing with very high energies, such as in particle accelerators, where energies often reach into the hundreds or thousands of mev.
Can this conversion be used for other units of energy?
No, this specific conversion is only for kilo-electron volts to mega-electron volts. For other units like joules or calories, different formulas are needed, as they are based on different measurement systems.
