No that is wrong. the number of milligrams in 1 kilogram is 1,000,000 mg or 1 million milligrams. A kilogram is 1,000 grams. A milligram is 1 one-thousandths of a gram or .001 grams.
In Scientific Notation that's 1e +6, or 1 x 10 +6, or in your electronic calculator's case 10 +6. Some electronic calculators can't show the mantissa or exponent as a superscript character (little 6 in upper right) so they have to show the positive sign. Others do not show the + sign but always show the negative (-) sign.
The +6 means the integer followed by 6 zeros. A -6 would mean a decimal point followed by 5 zeros and the integer totaling 6 digit places (i.e. a decimal fraction like .000001 = 10 -6).

NO. 10^3 milligrams = 1 gram. 10^3 grams = 1 kilogram. So 10^3*10^3 = 10^6 milligrams in a kilogram.

No, this is the number of killograms in a milligram.
1 mg is 1/1000th gram. 1 kilogram is 1000 grams. Therefore there are 1000000 milligrams in a kilogram, or 1E6 milligrams.

anything with milli in it means 1/1000th
kilo always means 1,000
so there are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram
each gram has 1,000 milligrams so you end up with
1,000 milligrams X 1,000 grams = 1 million milligrams in a kilogram. (10 ^ 6) (positive 6, not negative 6)

There are one-thousand milligrams in a gram.
There are one-thousand grams in a kilogram.
1000 times 1000 is 1000000.
So that is 10^(+6), not 10^(-6).

1 kg = 10 ^ 6 mg
positive not negative
1 g = 10^ 3 mg
1kg = 10 ^ 3 g
