How to Convert Milligrams to Grams

To convert a milligram measurement to a gram measurement, divide the weight by the conversion ratio.

The weight in grams is equal to the milligrams divided by 1,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 milligrams to grams using the formula above.
5,000 mg = (5,000 ÷ 1,000) = 5 g
