First line: 1 kg = 1000 g

Second line: 1 g = 1000 mg

Third line: 1 q = 100 kg and 1 t = 10 q

Fourth line: 1 dag = 10 g

Example: 0.5 kg = 500 g

Quick reference — mass conversion table

Tonne → quintal → kg

  • 1 t = 10 q
  • 1 t = 1000 kg
  • 1 q = 100 kg
  • 0.5 t = 500 kg
  • 1 kg = 0.001 t

kg → hg → dag → g

  • 1 kg = 10 hg
  • 1 hg = 10 dag
  • 1 dag = 10 g
  • 1 kg = 1000 g
  • 0.5 kg = 500 g

g → dg → cg → mg

  • 1 g = 10 dg
  • 1 dg = 10 cg
  • 1 cg = 10 mg
  • 1 g = 1000 mg
  • 500 mg = 0.5 g

Imperial (lb, oz)

  • 1 lb = 16 oz
  • 1 lb = 0.4536 kg
  • 1 oz = 28.35 g
  • 1 kg ≈ 2.205 lb
  • 1 stone = 14 lb

How to convert kilograms to grams?

1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams. To convert kg to g, multiply by 1000. To convert g to kg, divide by 1000. Also: 1 tonne = 10 quintals (q), 1 quintal = 100 kg, 1 decagram (dag) = 10 grams and 1 gram = 1000 milligrams — essential for science, cooking, and industry.

t × 10 = q q × 100 = kg kg × 10 = hg hg × 10 = dag dag × 10 = g kg × 1000 = g g ÷ 1000 = kg lb × 0.4536 = kg

Quintal (q) — a lesser-known unit

The quintal (q) equals exactly 100 kilograms. It is mainly used in agriculture to weigh harvests (wheat, corn, etc.) and in commodity trading. 1 tonne = 10 quintals. Do not confuse with the US quintal (≈ 45.36 kg) — the metric quintal always equals 100 kg.

Decagram (dag) — useful in cooking and pharmacy

The decagram (dag) equals 10 grams. It is used in some European countries, particularly in cooking and pharmacy. 1 hg = 10 dag and 1 dag = 10 g. It sits between the hectogram and the gram in the metric system.

Pounds to kilograms — US/UK conversion

1 pound (lb) = 0.4536 kilograms. To convert lb to kg, multiply by 0.4536. For ounces: 1 oz = 28.35 g. These conversions are vital for shipping, fitness, and international trade.
