# Kilograms to Grams (kg to g)

> Convert kilograms to grams: 1 kg = 1000 g. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

- Page id: `kg-to-grams` · Quantity: Mass (`mass`, base unit kg) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kg-to-grams · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kg-to-grams.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kg-to-grams.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 kg = 1000 g`
- `grams = kilograms × 1000`
- Reverse: `kilograms = grams × 0.001`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 kg = 5000 g
- 12.5 kg = 12500 g
- 100 kg = 100000 g

## FAQ

**How many grams are in one kilogram?**

1 kg = 1000 g. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert kilograms to grams?**

Multiply the value in kilograms by 1000: grams = kilograms × 1000. For example, 5 kg = 5000 g.

**How do I convert grams back to kilograms?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.001 (kilograms = grams × 0.001), or use the grams-to-kilograms page.
