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 501 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 501 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

501 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 501 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.501 kg

The final result is:

501 g → 0.501 kg

We conclude that 501 grams is equivalent to 0.501 kilograms:

501 grams = 0.501 kilograms
