How to Convert Metric Ton to Gram
- 1 t = 1000000 g
- 1 g = 0.000001 t
- Example: convert 15 t to g: 15 t = 15 × 1000000 g = 15000000 g
Formula
g = t × 1000000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 t = 1000 kg (accepted for use with the SI)
- 1 g = 10⁻³ kg
- 1 t = 1000 kg ÷ 0.001 kg per g = 1000000 g
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Metric Ton definition: metric ton; Gram definition: gram.
Worked examples
- A reading of 3 t converts to 3000000 g.
3 t × 1000000 = 3000000 g - A value of 25 t is 25000000 g.
25 t × 1000000 = 25000000 g
