How to convert milligrams to grams

grams = milligrams ÷ 1,000

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

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

Worked example: 250 mg

  1. Start with the value in milligrams: 250 mg.
  2. Divide by 1,000, because 1 gram = 1,000 milligrams: 250 ÷ 1,000 = 0.25 g.
