Convert 2.868*10^10g to kg, Mg, and mg

For kg, I put .002868 and 2.868*10^-3 but the computer said neither are correct. HELP PLEASE! (:

The basic table is

kg 1000
hg 100
dkg 10
g 1
dg 0.1
cg 0.01
mg 0.001
So you can see there are 1000 g in 1 kg; therefore,
2.868 x 10^10 g x (1 kg/1000g) = ?
2.868 x 10^10 g x (1000mg/g) = ?

Okay so would it be .002868? You would divide 2.868 by 1000 right? (for kg) or would it be 2.868*10^-3?

No and no. You're ignoring the 10^10

2.868 x 10^10/1000 = 2.868 x 10^7

2.868 x 10^10 x 1000 = 2.868 x 10^13

Ooohhhh that makes so much sense! Awesome. Thanks so much!

To convert from grams (g) to kilograms (kg), you need to divide the value in grams by 1000, because there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.

So, to convert 2.868 * 10^10 grams to kilograms, you would divide it by 1000:

2.868 * 10^10g / 1000 = 2.868 * 10^7 kg

Now, let's convert it to megagrams (Mg). There are 1000 kilograms in 1 megagram.

So, to convert 2.868 * 10^7 kilograms to megagrams, you would divide it by 1000:

2.868 * 10^7 kg / 1000 = 2.868 * 10^4 Mg

Lastly, let's convert it to milligrams (mg). There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram.

So, to convert 2.868 * 10^10 grams to milligrams, you would multiply it by 1000:

2.868 * 10^10g * 1000 = 2.868 * 10^13 mg

Therefore, the conversions are:

2.868 * 10^10 grams = 2.868 * 10^7 kilograms
2.868 * 10^10 grams = 2.868 * 10^4 megagrams
2.868 * 10^10 grams = 2.868 * 10^13 milligrams
