1 Megohm Potentiometers

We've got three "1 Megohm" potentiometers, that we were planning to use to find arm position. If 1 Megohm = 1,000,000 Ohms will these work? I was under the impression we needed 100K potentiometers, which by my reasoning means we are a factor of 10 off. If these will not work, where can we get pots that will work today?
