Convert dekagram to decigram
Please provide values below to convert dekagram [dag] to decigram [dg], or Convert decigram to dekagram.
1 dag = 100 dg. To convert dekagram to decigram, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dg = 0.01 dag). 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 dag = 100 dg
- 1 dg = 0.01 dag
- 10 dag = 1000 dg
- 100 dag = 10000 dg
How to Convert Dekagram to Decigram
1 dag = 100 dg
Example: convert 15 dag to dg:
15 dag = 15 × 100 dg = 1500 dg

Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) is a unit of mass equal to ten grams.
History/Origin
The dekagram was introduced as part of the metric system to simplify conversions within the metric units of mass, particularly in the context of grams and kilograms, and has been used primarily in countries adopting the metric system since the 19th century.
Current Use
Dekagrams are used in various fields such as cooking, jewelry, and scientific measurements, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, although grams and kilograms are more commonly used globally.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.
History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
