About these units

The kilonewton (kN) is a metric unit of force, equal to 1,000 newtons.

The newton (N) is an SI base or derived unit of force.

Going the other way, 1 newton = 0.001 kilonewtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Engineering specs mix newtons, kilogram-force and pound-force freely, and the difference matters when you are sizing a bolt or a spring.
