Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilograms to grams is 1000, which means that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams:

1 kg = 1000 g

To convert 5.1 kilograms into grams we have to multiply 5.1 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

5.1 kg → M_(g)

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

M_(g) = 5.1 kg × 1000 g

M_(g) = 5100 g

The final result is:

5.1 kg → 5100 g

We conclude that 5.1 kilograms is equivalent to 5100 grams:

5.1 kilograms = 5100 grams

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 gram is equal to 0.00019607843137255 × 5.1 kilograms.
