kg to g Converter - Kilogram to Gram

Kilogram (kg) to Gram (g)

Direct answer

1 kg = 1,000 g

g = kg × 1,000

Converter

Input

Result

1,000g

g = kg × 1,000

kg = g × 0.001

Example: 10 kg = 10 × 1,000 = 10,000 g.

Express both kg and g in the same base unit kg (kilogram), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite kg in the base unit
$1 kg = 1 kg$
2
Rewrite g in the base unit
$1 g = 0.001 kg$
3
Forward conversion
$1 kg = \frac{1 kg}{0.001 kg} \times 1 g = \frac{1}{0.001} g = 1, 000 g$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 g = \frac{0.001 kg}{1 kg} \times 1 kg = \frac{0.001}{1} kg = 0.001 kg$

The conversion factor between kilograms (kg) and grams (g) is based on the metric system's definition of a kilogram as 1,000 grams.

A kilogram is the base unit of mass in the metric system, and a gram is a subunit defined as one-thousandth of a kilogram.

The conversion works by applying the fixed relationship between the units: 1 kg equals 1,000 g, and 1 g equals 0.001 kg.

1 kg = 1,000 g.

10 kg = 10,000 g.

100 kg = 100,000 g.

Use g = kg × 1,000.

1 g = 0.001 kg.

Use the conversion factor and round the result to the precision required by your calculation.
