Convert milligram to femtogram
Please provide values below to convert milligram [mg] to femtogram [fg], or Convert femtogram to milligram.
1 mg = 1e+12 fg. To convert milligram to femtogram, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fg = 1.0000e-12 mg). 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 mg = 1e+12 fg
- 1 fg = 1.0000e-12 mg
- 10 mg = 1.0000e+13 fg
- 100 mg = 1.0000e+14 fg
How to Convert Milligram to Femtogram
1 mg = 1000000000000 fg
Example: convert 15 mg to fg:
15 mg = 15 × 1000000000000 fg = 15000000000000 fg

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.
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.
