Rounded for display only; calculations retain full precision.
Rounding and precision rules
- Convr calculates first and rounds the displayed result only once, at the final step.
- The default is a maximum of 6 decimal places; trailing zeros are removed.
- Very small values that would appear as zero, and values of 10¹² or more, use scientific notation.
- Display precision is not measurement uncertainty. For scientific, engineering, or regulated work, retain only the digits justified by the source measurement.
Practical context
Understanding this conversion
Grams are convenient for food, ingredients, small packages, and laboratory samples. Kilograms are used for larger masses, shipping weights, and standard SI reporting.
Both units belong to the metric system, so the conversion only moves the decimal point three places to the left. The relationship is exact.

Calculation
Gram to Kilogram formula
kg = g × 0.001
Calculations retain full precision and the result is rounded only for display.
Worked example
For 10 g, the result is 0.01 kg. Substitute 10 g into the formula to obtain 0.01 kg.
A numerical value expressed in kilogram is usually smaller than the same measurement expressed in gram, because 1 g equals 0.001 kg.
