For instance, a person who weighs 70 kilograms weighs 7,000,000 centigrams, so it is more convenient to discuss mass in terms of kilograms.

Use: Centigrams are not widely used for everyday measurements; they are more likely to be used in laboratory settings for precise measurements of mass. Centigrams may not be normally used is because grams and milligrams are two other units of mass that are used rather frequently, both of which are equal in magnitude to centigrams.
