Facts about Milligram
Basic facts: A milligram is a unit of weight and mass that is based on the kilogram, which is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of mass. It is equivalent to 1/1,000,000 kilograms or 1/1,000 grams.
History: As already mentioned, the milligram is based on the SI unit of weight and mass, the kilogram. It uses the “milli”, SI prefix as a SI unit, to denote that it is a submultiple of the base unit. The prefix – “milli” indicates a submultiple with respect to the gram, the kilogram.
Use: The milligram is widely used in many applications as a submultiple of an SI base unit, from widespread use in scientific labs, among other areas, to everyday use to measure the weight or mass of substances, foods, etc.
Facts about Centigram
Basic fact: A centigram [cg] is a unit of weight and mass in SI (the International System of Units), the contemporary form of the metric system of measurement. The centigram is relative to units of mass that are used to measure many everyday objects, this is a very small unit of measurement. 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.
