Kilograms to Grams Converter

1. Core Formula

grams = kilograms × 1000 (exact). Reverse: kg = g ÷ 1000. 1 kg = 1,000 g = 1,000,000 mg.

2. Flow

1. Enter kilograms (decimals allowed).
2. Multiply by 1000 to get grams.
3. Need mg? Add three more zeros.
4. Round only when displaying.

3. Sanity Checks

• 0.25 kg = 250 g
• 0.5 kg = 500 g
• 1 kg = 1000 g
• 2.5 kg = 2500 g
• 5 kg = 5000 g

4. Shortcuts

• Move decimal 3 places right.
• Split parts: 3.2 kg = 3 kg (3000 g) + 0.2 kg (200 g) = 3200 g.
• Approx pounds: kg × 2.2046 (panel shows exact).

5. Pitfalls

• Misplaced zeros (2.50 kg ≠ 250 g).
• Adding thousand separators in input ("2,500").
• Double converting kg→g then dividing again thinking mg.

6. Micro Examples

7. Mini FAQ

• Exact factor? 1000.
• Store which? Store grams for integer precision if aggregating.
• Convert to mg? Multiply kg by 1,000,000 directly.

8. Action Tip

High-volume ingestion pipeline? Normalize all weights to grams (integer) then convert outward on render to avoid floating drift.
