Quite often in scientific work you are required convert milligrams into micrograms and vice versa.

  1. 1
    Define one milligram (mg) is 1/1000th of a gram (g) or 0.001g
  2. 2
    Define one microgram (µg) is 1/1000000th of a gram (g) or 0.000001g
  3. 3
    Hence one microgram (µg) is equal to 1000 milligram (mg); i.e., x1000
  4. 4
    Suppose you have X milligram (mg),
  5. 5
    this can be converted to microgram ( µg) by multiplying by 1000
  6. 6
    i.e., = [X (mg) x 1000] microgram (µg)
  7. 7
    Thus, microgram (µg) divided by 1000 would be mg.
  8. 8
    for example 24 mg = (24 x 1000) = 24000 µg
  9. 9
    and 36000 µg = (36000/1000) = 36 mg.
