Convert grams to kilograms

The calculator allows you to convert grams to kilograms.

Perform the reverse calculation: convert kilograms to grams

1 g = 1 / 1 000 = 0.001 kg
1 kg = 1 000 g

To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1 000.

Example 1

We are going to convert a mass m of 1 500 grams to kilograms.
Mass m = 1 500 g
1 g = 0.001 kg = 1 / 1000 kg
m = 1 500 g = 1 500 / 1 000 = 1.5 kg

Other examples

To convert grams (g) to kilograms (kg), we need to divide the number of grams by 1000. This is because there are 1000 grams in one kilogram. The formula for the conversion is:
Number of kilograms = Number of grams / 1000

Here are three examples of how to convert grams to kilograms: Convert 5000 grams to kilograms:
Number of kilograms = 5000 g / 1000 = 5 kg
Answer: 5000 grams is equal to 5 kilograms.

Convert 250 grams to kilograms:
Number of kilograms = 250 g / 1000 = 0.25 kg
Answer: 250 grams is equal to 0.25 kilograms.

Convert 800 grams to kilograms:
Number of kilograms = 800 g / 1000 = 0.8 kg
Answer: 800 grams is equal to 0.8 kilograms.
