What is 80 kN/mm^2 to N/mm^2 = ?

Update:

Thanks all. I hate SI units make me confuse. I appreciate if someone list all units conversion or best website that i can refer to...?

    kiloNewtons to Newtons is a multiplication by 1,000 (there are 1,000 Newtons in a kiloNewton). The 1/mm^2 is not changing, so ignore it's a 1:1 ratio and can be ignored.

    80 * 1,000 = 80,000

    Just a heads up, if you have a unit raised to a power that does change (say the mm^2 goes to m^2), then you actually raise the multiplier to that same number (in the example, mm to m is divided by 1,000 so mm^2 to m^2 is divided by 1,000,000).

    1 kN means 1000N

    so, 80 kN/mm^2 = 80*1000 N/mm^2 = 8*10^4 N/mm^2

    kilo = 10^3

    it means u have to multiply by 10^3 to get the ans to N/mm^2

    so the answer is 80 x 1000 = 80,000 N/mm^2

    80,000 N/mm^2
