I really hope you're not using these two different units for the same quantity.
Kg is the unit of mass
newton(N) is the unit of force.
They are totally different.
But if you insist,you might be looking for this: 1N=kg.m/s^2
which comes from
newton's 2nd law:
F=ma
net force=(mass*acceleration)
but they probably
changed the kg.m/s^2 into an equivalent called N to make it easier and to honor Isaac Newton.
Good luck!
note: the 9.8 value you're guys giving is,as far as I know,the gravitational acceleration, which is obviously measured in m/s^2.
So I think what should be written is
in this form,
g=9.8 m/s^2
additional:
a body of mass=1 kg
has a weight of 9.8 N
according to this formula: W= m*g
Good luck again!

Newton is the unit for force not weight

1kg of mass weighs 9.8 newton.
You cannot equate mass to force.
However, you can write 1kgforce = 9.8 N
