1 km 2 means one square kilometre, or the area of a square of 1000 m by 1000 m. In other words, an area of 1 000 000 square metres and not 1000 square metres. 2 Mm 3 means two cubic megametres, or the volume of two cubes of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m, i.e. 2 × 10 18 m 3, and not 2 000 000 cubic metres (2 × 10 6 m 3).

Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
