A milligram is the thousandth part of a gram and a micro gram is even smaller as it is the thousandth part of a milligram. This converter can help you to convert such small value units of weight. The symbolic form of a milligram is mg while for a microgram it is μg. 1 mg contains 1000 μg.
Milligrams (mg) to micrograms (μg or mcg) weight (mass) conversion calculator and how to convert.
Enter the weight (mass) in milligrams and press the Convert button:
1 milligram (mg) is equal to 1000 micrograms (μg).
1 mg = 1000 μg
The mass m in micrograms (μg) is equal to the mass m in milligrams (mg) times 1000:
m(μg) = m(mg) × 1000
Convert 5mg to micrograms:
m(μg) = 5 mg × 1000 = 5000 μg

Milligram is the larger unit as compared to microgram so we have to go for multiplication as we do in maths to change a larger value into the smaller one.
Here we multiply the value of mg by 1000 to convert them into micrograms as we know one mg comprises 1000 μg.
1 milligram (mg) is equal to 1000 micrograms (μg).
