Formula

How to convert Grams to Metric Tons

To convert grams to metric tons, multiply by 0.000001. One gram equals 0.000001 t, and one metric ton equals 1,000,000 g.

  1. Take the value in grams — for example 7.5 g.
  2. Multiply by 0.000001 (the number of metric tons in one gram).
  3. 7.5 × 0.000001 = 0.0000075 t.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 6 places to the left.
