To convert 1 gram into kilograms we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the mass amount from grams to kilograms. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 g → 0.001 kg

1 g → M(kg)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the mass M in kilograms:

M(kg) = 1 g × 0.001 kg

M(kg) = 0.001 kg

The final result is:

1 g → 0.001 kg

We conclude that 1 gram is equivalent to 0.001 kilograms:

1 gram = 0.001 kilograms
