Kilogram (abbreviations: kg, or kgm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass (IPK, also known as "Le Grand K" or "Big K") and equivalent to 1/1000 of one gram. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, one gram is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
Gram (abbreviation: gm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, it is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
How to Convert Kilograms to Grams
Example: How many grams are equivalent to 55.02 kilograms?
As;
1 kilograms = 1000 grams
55.02 kilograms = Y grams
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 55.02 times 1000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 55.02 * 1000 / 1 = 55020 grams
Answer is: 55020 grams are equivalent to 55.02 kilograms.
