Conversion Formulas

Both grams and kilograms are units of mass, with the following relation between them:

1 Kilogram = 1000 grams

1 Gram = 1/1000 Kilograms = 0.001 Kilograms

Again, the "kilo" is one of the official unit prefixes in the International System (SI) of Units and means one thousand (1000 = 10³) - so, one kilo-gram (kilo, kg) has 1000 grams (10³ grams).

Thus, in order to convert mass given in grams into the mass given in kilograms and vice versa, be sure to remember the following formulas:

M_kg = M_grams / 1000

M_grams = M_kg * 1000
