How to convert grams to milligrams

milligrams = grams × 1,000

1 gram is one thousandth of a kilogram. 1 milligram is one thousandth of a gram.

The factor is exact in both directions: 1 g = 1,000 mg and 1 mg = 0.001 g. Nothing is rounded until you choose how many decimals to show.

Worked example: 2.5 g

  1. Start with the value in grams: 2.5 g.
  2. Multiply by 1,000, because 1 gram = 1,000 milligrams: 2.5 × 1,000 = 2,500 mg.
