To convert 14.2 kilograms into grams we have to multiply 14.2 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

14.2 kg → M_(g)

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

M_(g) = 14.2 kg × 1000 g

M_(g) = 14200 g

The final result is:

14.2 kg → 14200 g

We conclude that 14.2 kilograms is equivalent to 14200 grams:

14.2 kilograms = 14200 grams
