How to Convert Femtogram to Megagram
To convert fg to kg: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To convert fg to pg: divide by 1,000.
1 fg = 10⁻¹⁵ g = 10⁻¹⁸ kg = 1,000 ag.
For example, 1 Femtogram (fg) = 1.000000e-21 Megagram (Mg).

About Femtogram (fg)
The femtogram is a unit of mass equal to 10⁻¹⁵ grams or 10⁻¹⁸ kilograms — one quadrillionth of a gram.
1 fg = 10⁻¹⁵ g = 10⁻¹⁸ kg = 1,000 ag.
To convert fg to kg: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To convert fg to pg: divide by 1,000.
Expressing the mass of individual bacterial cells (~100 fg for E. coli) and subcellular components.
A single E. coli bacterium has a mass of about 600–700 fg. A single mitochondrion is roughly 1 fg.
Mixing up fg (femtogram) with fm (femtometer) — one is mass, the other is length.
A bacterium weighs ~500 fg — this gives you a tangible anchor for the femtogram scale.
