Micrograms to Milligrams
Convert micrograms (μg) to milligrams (mg) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
μg
mg
1 μg = 0.001 mg
Full precision:0.001 mg
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 micrograms to milligrams, we divide by 1000 because one milligram equals exactly 1000 micrograms.
1 milligram = 1000 micrograms
Since there are 1000 micrograms in every milligram, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 milligrams
So 1 micrograms = 0.001 milligrams.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 micrograms
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 μg = 0.001 mg
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 μg = 0.005 mg
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 μg = 0.01 mg
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
