The gram (g) is a standard unit of mass in the metric system, widely used for everyday weight measurements in food, science, and industry.
The milligram (mg) is a much smaller unit, commonly used in medicine and laboratory measurements. Since 1 gram equals 1,000 milligrams, converting between these units is simple and essential for precision-based calculations.
The straightforward formula to convert grams to milligrams:
Milligrams (mg) = Grams (g) × 1,000

3 × 1,000 = 3,000 mg
