Always Remember

To convert from bigger unit into a smaller unit we multiply.

× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

kilo- hecto- deca- Unit deci- centi- milli-

 CONVERSION OF UNITS OF WEIGHT
Kilogram into Gram Multiply by
1000
× 10 × 10 × 10

kilo- hecto- deca- Unit deci- centi- milli-

gram gram gram gram gram gram gram

e.g. 1) 12 kg = 12  1000 = 12000 g

e.g. 2) 2 kg 123 g = 2  1000 = 2000 g + 123 g = 2123 g
e.g. 3) 54 kg 63 g = 54  1000 = 54000 g + 63 g = 54063 g
e.g. 4) 18 kg 8 g = 18  1000 = 18000 g + 8 g = 18008 g

Multiply by
1000 × 10 × 10 × 10

kilo- hecto- deca- Unit deci- centi- milli-

gram gram gram gram gram gram gram

e.g. 1) 7 g = 7  1000 = 7000 g

e.g. 2) 7 g 45 mg = 7  1000 = 7000 g + 45 mg = 7045 mg
e.g. 3) 13 g 1 mg = 13  1000 = 13000 g + 1 mg = 13001 mg

Always Remember

To convert from smaller unit into a bigger unit we divide.

÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10
e.g. 1) 2131 g = 2131 ÷ 1000 = 2 kg 131 g

e.g. 2) 4090 g = 4090 ÷ 1000 = 4 kg 90 g

e.g. 1) 12998 mg = 12998 ÷ 1000 = 12 g 998 mg

e.g. 2) 5100 mg = 5100 ÷ 1000 = 5 g 100 mg
