To convert grams (g) to milligrams (mg), you need to multiply the number of grams by 1000. This is because there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. In essence, you are transforming a larger unit of weight (grams) into a smaller unit (milligrams).
For example, if you have 2 grams and want to convert it to milligrams, you would calculate:
2 g × 1000 = 2000 mg
So, 2 grams is equal to 2000 milligrams. This method can be applied to any number of grams you want to convert to milligrams. Just remember the factor of 1000!
