3500 g to kg

3,500 g = 3.5 kg

Divide the gram value by 1,000 — the prefix kilo- means exactly one thousand. So 3,500 g ÷ 1,000 = 3.5 kg.

Multiply by 1,000, the inverse operation: 3.5 kg × 1,000 = 3,500 g. Converting in both directions is the quickest check that the figure is right.

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.
