Thus, in order to convert mass given in milligrams into the mass given in grams and vice versa, be sure to remember the following formulas:

M_grams = M_milligrams / 1000

M_milligrams = M_grams * 1000

Milligrams to Grams and Grams to Milligrams Conversion Examples

Using conversion formulas, it is fairly easy to convert milligrams to grams and grams to milligrams:

500 milligrams to grams:
