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 :
[tex]17\cancel{\text{ohms}}\times\frac{1\text{kiloohm}}{1000\cancel{\text{ohm}}}=\frac{17}{1000}=0.017\text{kiloohm}[/tex]The answer is 0.017 kiloohm
