The conversion factor from grams to kilograms is 0.001, which means that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilograms:

1 g = 0.001 kg

To convert 18 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 18 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

18 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 18 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.018 kg

The final result is:

18 g → 0.018 kg

We conclude that 18 grams is equivalent to 0.018 kilograms:

18 grams = 0.018 kilograms
