On social media, numbers are often simplified with abbreviations like ‘K’ and ‘M’ to denote thousands and millions, enhancing readability and making content easier to consume. ‘K’ indicates 1,000, as in 1K followers, while ‘M’ stands for 1,000,000, making large numbers more compact and accessible. This digital shorthand is ideal for clear communication in an environment where users are bombarded with content and need quick, easy-to-read metrics.
