One quintal is equal to 100 kilograms (kgs). The term ‘quintal’ is used primarily in countries that follow the metric system, and it represents a mass measurement.
The conversion is relatively straightforward: since a quintal is defined as 100 kilograms, whenever you need to convert quintals to kilograms, you simply multiply the number of quintals by 100. For example, if you have 2 quintals, you would have:
- 2 quintals x 100 kg/quintal = 200 kg
Conversely, if you want to convert kilograms back to quintals, you would divide the number of kilograms by 100. This metric system makes it easier to work with large quantities, especially in fields like agriculture and trade.
