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

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.
Milligram
A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram.
History/Origin
The milligram has been used in scientific and medical contexts for precise measurement of small quantities, especially in pharmacology and chemistry, with its origins linked to the metric system established in the 18th century.
Current Use
Today, the milligram is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and scientific research to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
