Study Notes
Converting Grams to Kilograms
- Grams and kilograms are units of mass in the metric system.
- Kilograms are larger units of mass than grams.
- There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.
- To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000.
- For example, 2500 grams is equal to 2.5 kilograms (2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5).
- The conversion factor is 1 kg = 1000 g.
- This means that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilograms.
- Mathematically, the conversion can be expressed as: kilograms = grams ÷ 1000.
- This conversion is fundamental in many scientific and everyday applications involving mass measurements.
- Conversely, to convert kilograms to grams, multiply the number of kilograms by 1000.
- For example, 0.05 kilograms is equal to 50 grams (0.05 x 1000 = 50).
