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 520 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 520 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

520 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 520 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.52 kg

The final result is:

520 g → 0.52 kg

We conclude that 520 grams is equivalent to 0.52 kilograms:

520 grams = 0.52 kilograms
