Nobody's gonna believe 1.5 thousand, and plenty would read it that way. Nobody outside some science niches (technical or not) uses K for temperature.


The correct format is 1.5 K and in my opinion is unambiguous written that way. 1.5k is definitely 1,500 while 1.5K in the middle is ambiguous and depends on context.


Then 1.5Ki should be 1536.
