Multiplication.
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
You move it to the left. As the unit gets larger, the base number gets smaller. One gram would be .001 kilograms. A kilogram is much larger than a gram, so the base number would be smaller to make up for being represented by a larger unit.
An SI prefix, unless that unit already has a prefix.
If the question refers to converting from a smaller unit such as inch or centimetre to a larger unit such as foot or metre, the answer is Yes, you divide the number - in these examples by 12 or 100 respectively.
Because when you convert to a larger unit, you know that you will wind up with less of them, and if you divide by a number greater than ' 1 ', then the quotient is always a smaller number than you started with.
In a given circle, the radius is 9 cm. What is diameter?
to get a unit
To change from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you have to divide. For example, 100 centimetres is equal to 1 metre.

conversion factor
When changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit, there will be more of them, so you will multiply.
Move it to the left.
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit you would multiply. Ex: 5 km = 5000 m Where 1 km = 1000 m <><><><><> It depends on which factor you are multiplying or dividing by. It can go either way. To convert from ounces to grams, for instance, you can divide by 28.350, or you can multiply by 0.035273.
Decagram if going from larger unit to smaller unit, and decigram if from smaller to larger.
