Smaller Measurement from a tonne

1 kilogram (1 kg)	A thousand grams (1000 g) is the mass of 1 kg (1 kilogram). And 1 kilogram is simply written 1 kg which is pronounced "killo-gram" NOT "killau-gram".
Smaller Measurement from a kilogram
1gram (1 g)	Remember that kilo is the prefix meaning 1000 times, which only says that there are 1000 g (grams) in 1 kg (kilogram) and we simply write 1 g to represent the mass of 1 gram.
Smaller Measurement from a gram
1 milligram (1 mg)	Remember, milli is the prefix meaning 1 one thousandth (0.001). So, 1 one thousandth from the unit of measurement gram being 1 milligram, is simply written 1 mg.
