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