Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 milligrams to grams, we divide by 1000 because one gram equals exactly 1000 milligrams.
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
Since there are 1000 milligrams in every gram, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 grams
So 1 milligrams = 0.001 grams.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 milligrams
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 mg = 0.001 g
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 mg = 0.005 g
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 mg = 0.01 g
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
