Conversion formula

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 4000 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 4000 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

4000 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 4000 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 4 kg

The final result is:

4000 g → 4 kg

We conclude that 4000 grams is equivalent to 4 kilograms:

4000 grams = 4 kilograms

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilogram is equal to 0.25 × 4000 grams.

Another way is saying that 4000 grams is equal to 1 ÷ 0.25 kilograms.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand grams is approximately four kilograms:

4000 g ≅ 4 kg

An alternative is also that one kilogram is approximately zero point two five times four thousand grams.
