4k7= ?
4700 ohms or 4.7K
 
It is convention to put the letter/symbol for the multiplier/scale factor in place of the decimal point. This is to ensure clarity where schematics are copied and decimal points could be overlooked. So:

0R15 = 0.15 Ohm
4k7 = 4.7k, 4700 Ohms
6M8 = 6.8M, 6800000 Ohms
1V6 = 1.6V
2n2 = 2.2nF
4u7 = 4.7uF

Hi,
and newly too:
4L7=4.7 mili Ohm(current shunt i.e.)...
K.
