Convert femtogram to centigram
Please provide values below to convert femtogram [fg] to centigram [cg], or Convert centigram to femtogram.
1 fg = 1.0000e-13 cg. To convert femtogram to centigram, multiply the value by 1.0000e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cg = 1.0000e+13 fg). 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 fg = 1.0000e-13 cg
- 1 cg = 1.0000e+13 fg
- 10 fg = 1.0000e-12 cg
- 100 fg = 1.0000e-11 cg
How to Convert Femtogram to Centigram
1 fg = 1e-13 cg
Example: convert 15 fg to cg:
15 fg = 15 × 1e-13 cg = 1.5e-12 cg

Femtogram
A femtogram (fg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-15 grams.
History/Origin
The femtogram was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to measure extremely small masses, particularly in scientific fields such as chemistry and biology, during the 20th century as measurement technology advanced.
Current Use
Femtograms are used in scientific research to measure tiny quantities of substances, such as in molecular biology, nanotechnology, and materials science, where precise measurement of very small masses is required.
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.
