Actually, centigrams are larger than miligrams.

1 milligram = 1/1000th of a gram or .001 of a gram

1 centigram = 1/100th of a gram or .01 of a gram.

Therefore, there are .1 centigrams in a mg. A centigram is 10 miligrams.

The metric system is very consistent. It works like this :

Mili = 1/1000th

Centi = 1/100th

Deci = 1/10th

Deka = 10

Hecto = 100

Kilo = 1000

And that is consistent for all units of measure.

NB:

mg is the abbreviation for miligram

mcg is the abbreviation for microgram
