Convert Metric Tons to Milligrams
t to mg · weight & mass conversion
What are metric tons and milligrams?
A metric ton is 1,000 kilograms, used for vehicles, cargo, and bulk materials. A milligram is one-thousandth of a gram, used for medication doses and tiny quantities. For scale: a 70 kg adult weighs about 154 lb, and a bag of sugar is usually 1 kg (2.2 lb).
How to convert metric tons to milligrams
1 t = 1,000,000,000 mg. To convert, multiply the number of metric tons by 1,000,000,000. For example, 5 t = 5,000,000,000 mg, and 20 t = 20,000,000,000 mg. To go the other way, multiply milligrams by 1.0000e-9 (since 1 mg = 1.0000e-9 t).
