To convert from grams to kilograms, divide by 1000. Please note that grams and kilograms are not really units of weight. They are units of mass.
Weight in Newtons Mass in kilograms
In the metric system (really called SI) weight is measured in units of newtons (lower case n to emphasize we are not talking about the scientist) and mass is in units of kilograms. W = mg (g =9.8) so weight in newtons equals mass in kilograms times 9.8.
To convert your weight from pounds to kilograms, you can use the following formula: Weight in kilograms = Weight in pounds / 2.20462. For example, if your weight is 150 pounds, your weight in kilograms would be approximately 68.18 kilograms.
No. 52.1 kilograms is a measure of mass, not weight. Weight and mass are measures of different characteristics.
