Conversion formula

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 9.8 grams into kilograms we have to multiply 9.8 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

9.8 g → M_(kg)

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

M_(kg) = 9.8 g × 0.001 kg

M_(kg) = 0.0098 kg

The final result is:

9.8 g → 0.0098 kg

We conclude that 9.8 grams is equivalent to 0.0098 kilograms:

9.8 grams = 0.0098 kilograms

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilogram is equal to 102.04081632653 × 9.8 grams.

Another way is saying that 9.8 grams is equal to 1 ÷ 102.04081632653 kilograms.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine point eight grams is approximately zero point zero one kilograms:

9.8 g ≅ 0.01 kg

An alternative is also that one kilogram is approximately one hundred two point zero four one times nine point eight grams.
