Decigram (dg)
Mass
Traceable to the kilogram, defined by fixing the Planck constant at 6.626 070 15 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. Avoirdupois masses derive from the 1959 international pound (0.453 592 37 kg exactly).

How to Convert Decigram to Milligram
To convert from Decigram (dg) to Milligram (mg), multiply the value by 100.
Formula: mg = dg × 100
Reverse: dg = mg × 0.01
Step-by-Step Example
- Start with your value in Decigram. For example: 5 dg
- Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 100
- The result is: 500 mg
About Decigram
The decigram (dg) is a unit of mass and weight. One decigram equals 0.0001 kilograms. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other mass unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: mass calculations, engineering and science, education.
About Milligram
The milligram equals one thousandth of a gram and is the standard unit for drug dosage and nutrient quantities.
Common uses: medication dosage, nutrition labels, laboratory work.
