How to Convert Milligram to Exagram
To convert mg to grams: divide by 1,000. To convert mg to grains: multiply by 0.01543.
1 mg = 0.001 g = 10⁻⁶ kg = 1,000 µg. There are 1,000 mg in 1 gram.
For example, 1 Milligram (mg) = 1.000000e-21 Exagram (Eg).

| 1000 | 1.000000e-18 |
About Milligram (mg)
Definition
The milligram is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram (10⁻³ g) or one millionth of a kilogram.
Mathematical Relationship
1 mg = 0.001 g = 10⁻⁶ kg = 1,000 µg. There are 1,000 mg in 1 gram.
Conversion Formula
To convert mg to grams: divide by 1,000. To convert mg to grains: multiply by 0.01543.
Practical Applications
Drug tablets (e.g., aspirin 325 mg), caffeine content (coffee ~95 mg/cup), sodium on food labels, and gemstone weights.
Interesting Facts
A single grain of sand weighs about 1 mg. The lethal dose of pure caffeine is roughly 10,000 mg (10 g) for an average adult.
Common Mistakes
Confusing mg with mL — milligrams measure mass, milliliters measure volume. They're only equal for water (density = 1 g/mL).
Educational Tips
A standard paper clip weighs about 1,000 mg (1 g). Use this to visualize what a milligram fraction looks like.
About Exagram (Eg)
Definition
The exagram equals 10¹⁸ grams or 10¹⁵ kilograms — one trillion tonnes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications. Describes masses of small moons or large asteroids.
Interesting Facts
Earth's total mass is about 5.97 × 10⁶ Eg. The entire atmosphere weighs 'only' about 5 Eg.
Common Mistakes
Hardly ever encountered — most contexts use 'times 10^x kg' notation instead of exagrams.
Educational Tips
If you need to express masses between Pg and Earth-masses, the exagram fills that gap: 1 Eg = 10¹⁵ kg.
