Convert milligrams to grams

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

The calculator allows you to convert milligrams to grams.

Perform the reverse calculation: convert grams to milligrams

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

To convert milligrams to grams, divide by 1 000.

Example 1

We are going to convert a mass m of 2 500 milligrams to grams.
Mass m = 2 500 mg
1 mg = 1 / 1 000 g
m = 2 500 mg = 2 500 / 1 000 = 2.5 g

Other examples

To convert milligrams (mg) to grams (g), you can divide the milligram value by 1000.

The formula for converting milligrams to grams is:
grams = milligrams / 1000

For example, to convert 5000 milligrams to grams, you can use the formula as follows:
grams = 5000 mg / 1000 = 5 g

Here are a few more examples of milligrams to grams conversions:
250 mg = 250 / 1 000 = 0.25 g
7 500 mg = 7 500 / 1 000 = 7.5 g
12 500 mg = 12 500 / 1 000 = 12.5 g
50 000 mg = 50 000 / 1 000 = 50 g

We are going to take an example of conversion when creating a recipe.

The recipe that calls for 3 000 milligrams of sugar and you want to convert it to grams. To do so, you can use the formula:
grams = milligrams / 1 000
grams = 3 000 mg / 1000 = 3 g

A conversion table for milligrams (mg) to grams (mg)

Milligrams (mg) Grams (g)
1 mg 0.001 g
10 mg 0.01 g
25 mg 0.025 g
50 mg 0.05 g
75 mg 0.075 g
100 mg 0.1 g
125 mg 0.125 g
250 mg 0.25 g
500 mg 0.5 g
750 mg 0.75 g
1000 mg 1 g
1500 mg 1.5 g
2000 mg 2 g
2500 mg 2.5 g
3000 mg 3 g
4000 mg 4 g
5000 mg 5 g
7500 mg 7.5 g
10000 mg 10 g
15000 mg 15 g

To use this table to convert a specific value of milligrams to grams, simply locate the row that corresponds to the milligram value, and read the gram value in the second column. For example, if you want to convert 750 milligrams to grams, locate the row that shows "750" in the first column, and read "0.75" in the second column, which is the equivalent gram value.

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).

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".
