How many kilograms is 3 grams?

3 g = 0.003 kg

What is the formula to convert 3 grams to kg?

Divide the gram value by 1,000 — the prefix kilo- means exactly one thousand. So 3 g ÷ 1,000 = 0.003 kg.

How do you convert 0.003 kg back to grams?

Multiply by 1,000, the inverse operation: 0.003 kg × 1,000 = 3 g. Converting in both directions is the quickest check that the figure is right.

Why does the decimal point move three places when 3 g becomes 0.003 kg?

Because kilo- stands for 10³, so one kilogram holds 1,000 grams. Moving the point by one or two places instead is the usual slip and makes the answer 100 or 10 times too large.
