To convert from grams to something you divide by 1000?

Answer 1

Either one! It depends what you multiply or divide BY!

To go from kilograms to grams: MULTIPLY BY 1000 (or divide by .001!)

To go from grams to kilograms: DIVIDE BY 1000 (or multiply by .001)

Answer 2

The factor is 1000. Since kilogram is the greater unit, you divide. In general, you can use the following procedure for unit conversion, to avoid doing the wrong operation - in the case of grams and kilograms:

Of course you have to know that 1 kilogram = 1000 grams. What you do is multiply the measurement by 1, as follows:

200 grams x (1 kilogram / 1000 grams) = 0.2 kilograms (the "grams" cancel).

If you do it the other way:

200 grams x (1000 grams / 1 kilogram) = 200,000 square grams / kilogram (The units don't cancel; the result is "technical correct, but completely useless", so you have to do it the other way round.)

Answer 3

Of course you multiply.

As an example, the larger unit could be kilometer (that equal 1000 meter-the smaller unit); then

2 km (larger unit) = 2 x 1000 = 2000 meters (smaller unit)

Answer 4

To convert from grams to kilograms, you divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram.

Answer 5

divide

1 kg = 1000 grams

1 gram = 0.001 kg

Answer 6

There are 1000 grams to a kilogram. Kilo means 1000 so kilogram is 1000 grams.

Answer 7

That something is kilograms. For example, 5000 grams is equal to 5000/1000 = 5 kilograms.
