Direct link to Ranvir Malhi's post “Hi, this is where decimal...” Hi, this is where decimals come into play, since you do not have 1000 grams, you know you have at least 5 grams of a kilogram. In other words, you still convert the grams into whatever amount of a kilogram regardless if you have 1000 or not, you would have 0.005 of a kilogram.

Direct link to Ian Pulizzotto's post “A kilogram is 1,000 grams...” A kilogram is 1,000 grams. This also means a gram is 1/1,000 of a kilogram. To convert from grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 (move the decimal point 3 places to the left). To convert from kilograms to grams, multiply by 1,000 (move the decimal point 3 places to the right). Note: 2) If you don’t have enough room to move the decimal point, write extra zeros first. Have a blessed, wonderful day! (5 votes)Want to join the conversation?
So a kilogram is much heavier than a milligram; in fact, a kilogram is a million times as heavy as a milligram!
for example, if you go from grams to kilograms, you divide by 1000
if you go from kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1000
that's it!
There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram.
Hope it helps :)
To multiply by 1 000, all you have to do is move the decimal point to the right 3 times because there are 3 zeros, and to divide by 1 000 you move it 3 times to the left.
For example:
3 kilograms = 3 000 grams
3 grams = 0.003 kilograms
1) For any whole number, the decimal point is always just to the right of the units digit.
