Convert nanogram to centigram
Please provide values below to convert nanogram [ng] to centigram [cg], or Convert centigram to nanogram.
1 ng = 1e-07 cg. To convert nanogram to centigram, multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cg = 10000000 ng). 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 ng = 1e-07 cg
- 1 cg = 10000000 ng
- 10 ng = 1e-06 cg
- 100 ng = 1e-05 cg
How to Convert Nanogram to Centigram
1 ng = 1e-07 cg
Example: convert 15 ng to cg:
15 ng = 15 × 1e-07 cg = 1.5e-06 cg

Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanogram in centigram?
1 nanogram (ng) = 1e-07 centigram (cg).
How do you convert nanogram to centigram?
Multiply the nanogram value by 1e-07. For example, 25 ng × 1e-07 = 2.5e-06 cg.
What is 10 nanogram in centigram?
10 ng = 1e-06 cg.
Which unit is larger, the nanogram or the centigram?
The centigram is the larger unit: 1 ng equals only 1e-07 cg.
