What if something is 2070g - how do you convert that into kilograms? thanks!

Thanks to all those who gave helpful answers (the majority). To the rude minority: I AM actually educated (oooh) and have been to university etc etc - the thing is I detest anything remotely mathematical and have put a mental block on anything associated with it. So, as far as maths is concerned, yes, I'm an idiot. But not as big an idiot as one who attempts to look intelligent by demeaning others. It's sad really...

there are 1000g in a kg. the Kilo at the beginning means thousand. so it basically means thousandgram, just like 1 km is 1000m, thousandmetre. this means that 2070g is 2kg and 70g or 2.070kg. to divide by 1000 just move the decimal point 3 places to the left. if you want to divide by any power of 10 then just move the decimal point left by the same amount of places as there are zeros in the number your dividing by. Good luck with maths. (i hate it too)

Kilo stems from the Greek chilioi meaning "a thousand." Therefore a kilogram is a thousand grams.
Kilogram = 1,000 grams
1,000 grams/kilogram = 1 (ordinary algebra)
You can divide anything by one without changing its value. Therefore:
2,070 grams/(1,000 grams/kilogram) = 2.070 kilograms
Notice that grams cancel out and kilogram is left in the numerator of the answer. Engineers often use "division by one" to make conversions of units in complex identities. It is a useful tool to learn.

1000g is a kilo. To work out how many kilograms (kg) are in something, just divide the number of grams by 1000.
Eg- 2070 grams / 1000 = 2.07kilograms

I am 99% it is 1000 in a kilogram
2006-10-17 06:12:00 · answer #9 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 1⤋
1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)
2,070 grams = 2.07 kgs - all you need to do is place a decimal point after the thousandth which is 2 in this case making it 2.070 which is 2.07 kgs (always drop the zero if it is at the end).
If you had 42070 grams then that would be 42.07. Place the decimal point after the thousandth, which if you like is before the third number from the right, which is the zero.
Hope that makes sense xxx

kilo stands for a thousand so 1000 grams in a kilogram...
2070 grams = 2.070 kilograms
