About Kilogram and Milligram
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by the old platinum-iridium prototype. It is the reference for every other mass unit on this site. The milligram is one thousandth of a gram, or a millionth of a kilogram. Medication dosages and trace nutrient amounts are stated in milligrams. One Kilogram equals 1000000 Milligrams (1 kg = 1000000 mg). Kilogram is used in body weight outside the US and in groceries and food packaging worldwide. Milligram is used in medication dosages.
Precision and Rounding:Metric-imperial mass factors are exact (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 agreement), so precision is purely a display choice. One decimal place is enough for body weight and cooking; nutrition labeling, pharmacy, and lab work need the full factor before rounding.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
