what do resistor values 2k2 and 2m7 mean?

[vseriesamps]

I'm unfamiliar with this way of writing out resistor values. Can anyone explain? Is that like 2.2k and 2.7m, respectively?

Thanks team

Yes...2.2K and 2.7Mohms

[Peter Snowberg]

Exactly.

You'll also see numbers like 470R which is the same as 470 ohms.

I've started doing all my schematics with the 2K2 or 2M7 style numbering system. It leaves a little less to question.

yeah I can't count how many times a gritty PDF or bad photocopy has left me squinting to decipher a "." or lack thereof. Makes sense.

That's exactly where that notation came from.
If it's not in the FAQ (which I doubt) it should be
