To convert 218 kilograms into grams we have to multiply 218 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

218 kg → M_(g)

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

M_(g) = 218 kg × 1000 g

M_(g) = 218000 g

The final result is:

218 kg → 218000 g

We conclude that 218 kilograms is equivalent to 218000 grams:

218 kilograms = 218000 grams
