To convert 512 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 512 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

512 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 512 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.512 kg

The final result is:

512 g → 0.512 kg

We conclude that 512 grams is equivalent to 0.512 kilograms:

512 grams = 0.512 kilograms
