Convert hectogram to centigram
Please provide values below to convert hectogram [hg] to centigram [cg], or Convert centigram to hectogram.
1 hg = 10000 cg. To convert hectogram to centigram, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cg = 0.0001 hg). 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 hg = 10000 cg
- 1 cg = 0.0001 hg
- 10 hg = 100000 cg
- 100 hg = 1000000 cg
How to Convert Hectogram to Centigram

Hectogram
A hectogram (hg) is a unit of mass equal to 100 grams.
History/Origin
The hectogram is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century as a decimal-based system for standardizing measurements, primarily used in scientific and everyday contexts.
Current Use
The hectogram is used in some countries for measuring food and other small quantities, especially in the context of nutrition labels and grocery shopping, but is less common than grams and kilograms.
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.
