Calculation: t = g × 0.000001

Conversion Formula

t = g × 0.000001

Take the value in grams, multiply it by 1e-6, and the result is the same amount in metric tons.

This works because each g equals 1e-6 t. Keep extra decimals if you need higher precision.

Reverse

g = t × 1000000

To go the other way, use the reverse formula so the unit relationship stays exact.

How to Convert
