Convert centigram to nanogram
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to nanogram [ng], or Convert nanogram to centigram.
1 cg = 10000000 ng. To convert centigram to nanogram, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ng = 1e-07 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 10000000 ng
- 1 ng = 1e-07 cg
- 10 cg = 100000000 ng
- 100 cg = 1000000000 ng
How to Convert Centigram to Nanogram
1 cg = 10000000 ng
Example: convert 15 cg to ng:
15 cg = 15 × 10000000 ng = 150000000 ng

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
