'K' and 'M' ?

Question

¡Hola! Guys, On Spanish Dict , I have observed a thing. After some sufficient points, reputation or badges , these three are followed by 'K' or 'M' . Are these two units followed in Spain? If yes, then what do they mean? Gracias Hope you guys do not this question stupid , because I think this question is not that interesting to be answered.

Answer 1

They aren´t units in Spanish, but in English.

K means 1000. (thousand) M means 1,000,000. (million)

We use it in English as well...The movie earned $160M on opening weekend. The man won a suitcase worth $10K.

I didn't knew this . Thanks! :) - ZAYESHA, May 7, 2012

But in India these units are not used that frequently! - ZAYESHA, May 7, 2012

I am pretty sure the English in Austrailia, England, the USA and Canada all use these units. Are you referring to the English used in India? That's interesting. - missy8888, May 7, 2012

I live in India and my school teaches me British English. I have never used 'K' or 'M'. - ZAYESHA, May 7, 2012
