Kilograms (kg)

Metric Tons (t)

1 kg = 0.001 t

Full precision:0.001 t

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kilograms to metric tons, we divide by 1000 because one metric ton equals exactly 1000 kilograms.

1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms

Since there are 1000 kilograms in every metric ton, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 metric tons

So 1 kilograms = 0.001 metric tons.

✓Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 kilograms

How to Convert Kilograms to Metric Tons

To convert kilograms to metric tons, divide the value by 1000.

Metric Tons = Kilograms ÷ 1000

1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms

Tip: To convert metric tons back to kilograms, multiply by 1000.

Example 1: 1 kg = 0.001 t
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001

Example 2: 5 kg = 0.005 t
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005

Example 3: 10 kg = 0.01 t
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
