How to Convert Milligrams to Grams

To convert a measurement in milligrams to a measurement in grams, divide the weight by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 milligrams/gram.

grams = milligrams ÷ 1,000

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

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 milligrams to grams using the formula above.

grams = (5,000 mg ÷ 1,000) = 5 g
