Mass (in grams):

The calculator allows you to convert kilograms to grams.

Perform the reverse calculation: convert grams to kilograms

1 kg = 1 000 g
1 g = 1 / 1 000 = 0.001 kg

To convert kilograms to grams, multiply by 1 000.

Example 1

We are going to convert a mass m of 3 kilograms to grams.
Mass m = 3 kg
1 kg = 1000 g
m = 3 kg = 3 x 1 000 = 3 000 g
