Convert kilogram to milligram
Please provide values below to convert kilogram [kg] to milligram [mg], or Convert milligram to kilogram.
1 kg = 1000000 mg. To convert kilogram to milligram, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mg = 1e-06 kg). 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 kg = 1000000 mg
- 1 mg = 1e-06 kg
- 10 kg = 10000000 mg
- 100 kg = 100000000 mg
How to Convert Kilogram to Milligram
1 kg = 1000000 mg
Example: convert 15 kg to mg:
15 kg = 15 × 1000000 mg = 15000000 mg

Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram, a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
History/Origin
The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. It was later represented by a platinum standard in 1875, known as the International Prototype Kilogram, which served as the global standard until 2019.
Current Use
Today, the kilogram is defined by the Planck constant, fixed at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joule seconds, ensuring greater precision and stability in measurements worldwide. It is widely used in science, industry, and commerce for measuring mass.
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.
