How many Milligram to Gram ? (mg to g)
The formula to convert milligrams to grams is:
grams = milligrams / 1000
For example, to convert 500 mg to grams, divide 500 by 1000:
grams = 500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g
How many Gram to Milligram? (1 gram to mg)
The formula to convert grams to milligrams is:
milligrams = grams * 1000
To convert 2.5 g to milligrams, multiply 2.5 by 1000:
milligrams = 2.5 g * 1000 = 2500 mg
Milligrams and Grams: Everything You Need to Know (and More!)
- A gram is the basic unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one-thousandth of a kilogram.

- The origin of the gram and milligram can be traced back to the French Revolution in the late 18th century. At that time, the French government was looking for a new system of measurement that was more logical and easier to use than the existing system. They commissioned a group of scientists to develop a new system, which was eventually adopted as the metric system in 1799.
- A gram is equal to the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere of pressure. A milligram is equal to one thousandth of a gram.
- The word "gram" comes from the Latin word "gramma," which means "small weight.. The word "milligram" comes from the Latin word "mille," which means "thousand," and the word "gram." A milligram is one thousandth of a gram, or 0.001 grams.
