To convert 120 kilograms into grams we have to multiply 120 by the conversion factor in order to get the mass amount from kilograms to grams. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kg → 1000 g

120 kg → M_(g)

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

M_(g) = 120 kg × 1000 g

M_(g) = 120000 g

The final result is:

120 kg → 120000 g

We conclude that 120 kilograms is equivalent to 120000 grams:

120 kilograms = 120000 grams
