To convert 256 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 256 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

256 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 256 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.256 kg

The final result is:

256 g → 0.256 kg

We conclude that 256 grams is equivalent to 0.256 kilograms:

256 grams = 0.256 kilograms
