micrograms and milligrams are both divisions of a unit of mass called gram. a miligram is equivalent to 1/1000 of a gram, a microgram is 1/1000000. Therefore a microgram is much smaller than a miligram. Let's say for instance that a doctor prescribes 10 micrograms of a drug to cure you and instead you use 10 milligrams, you would be using 1000 times the ammount prescribed, and that can be dangerous
Pico means 1/1,000,000,000,000. Micro means 1/1,000,000. Therefore there are 1,000,000 picograms in a microgram.
It is 1000 micrograms
1,000 milligrams in 1 gram.
1 g = 1000 mg
1 microgram is 0.000001 gram or 1 gram is 1000000 micrograms.
There are 1,000 mcg in 1 milligram (mg).1 microgram = 0.001 milligrams
There are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. Therefore 2000 micrograms is 2 milligrams.
1milligram======0.001grams 1microgram=====0.000001grams so 1microgram =======1000grams
1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams.
1 µg = 0.001 mg
1 microgram (mcg) is 1/1000mg or 0.001mg
