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 kilograms into grams we have to multiply 5 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 kg → M(g)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the mass M in grams:
M(g) = 5 kg × 1000 g
M(g) = 5000 g
The final result is:
5 kg → 5000 g
We conclude that 5 kilograms is equivalent to 5000 grams:
5 kilograms = 5000 grams
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 gram is equal to 0.0002 × 5 kilograms.
Another way is saying that 5 kilograms is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0002 grams.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five kilograms is approximately five thousand grams:
5 kg ≅ 5000 g
An alternative is also that one gram is approximately zero times five kilograms.
