Convert grams to milligrams

Mass (in grams):
Mass (in milligrams):

The calculator allows you to convert grams to milligrams.

Perform the reverse calculation: convert milligrams to grams

1 g = 1 000 mg
1 mg = 1 / 1 000 g = 0.001 g

To convert grams to milligrams, multiply by 1 000.

Example 1

We are going to convert a mass m of 50 grams to milligrams.
Mass m = 50 g
1 g = 1 000 mg
m = 50 g = 50 x 1 000 = 50 000 mg

Other examples

To convert grams (g) to milligrams (mg), you need to multiply the value in grams by 1000.

Here are 5 examples:

Convert 2 grams to milligrams: 2 g x 1000 = 2000 mg

Convert 5.6 grams to milligrams:
5.6 g x 1000 = 5600 mg

Convert 0.3 grams to milligrams:
0.3 g x 1000 = 300 mg

Convert 7.2 grams to milligrams:
7.2 g x 1000 = 7200 mg

Convert 0.05 grams to milligrams:
0.05 g x 1000 = 50 mg

A recipe with 250 grams of flour
Let's say you're following a recipe that calls for 250 grams (g) of flour. However, your kitchen scale only measures in milligrams (mg), so you need to convert the amount of flour from grams to milligrams.
To do this, you would multiply the number of grams by 1000:
250 g x 1000 = 250 000 mg

This table shows the conversion of grams (g) to milligrams (mg). The first row of the table lists the headers for the two columns: "Grams (g)" and "Milligrams (mg)". Each subsequent row of the table shows the conversion of one gram value to its corresponding milligram value. For example, the second row shows that 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. The third row shows that 2 grams is equal to 2000 milligrams, and so on. To use the table to convert a specific value of grams to milligrams, simply locate the row that corresponds to the gram value, and read the milligram value in the second column. For example, if you want to convert 7 grams to milligrams, locate the row that shows "7" in the first column, and read "7000" in the second column, which is the equivalent milligram value.

Gram (g)

The gram is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram, which is the base unit of mass in the SI. One gram is equivalent to 0.001 kilograms, or 1 milligram is equivalent to 0.001 grams. The symbol for gram is "g".

Milligram (kg)

A milligram is a unit of measurement that is used to quantify small amounts of mass or weight. One milligram is equal to one-thousandth of a gram, which is the base unit of measurement for mass in the metric system. The symbol for milligram is "mg". This symbol is derived from the first letter of the metric prefix "milli-" (which means one-thousandth) and the abbreviation for the base unit of measurement for mass, "g" for gram.

"Milli" is a prefix used in the International System of Units (SI) to indicate a factor of one-thousandth (1/1000) of the base unit of measurement. For example, a millimeter (mm) is one-thousandth of a meter (m), a milliliter (mL) is one-thousandth of a liter (L), and a milligram (mg) is one-thousandth of a gram (g).
