How to Convert Milligrams to Micrograms

Conversion factor:

1 mg=1000 μg1\,\text{mg} = 1000\,\mu\text{g}

Inverse factor:

1 μg=0.001 mg1\,\mu\text{g} = 0.001\,\text{mg}

Example

Convert 15 mg to µg:

μg=mg×1000\mu\text{g} = \text{mg} \times 1000
μg=15×1000\mu\text{g} = 15 \times 1000
μg=15000\mu\text{g} = 15000
=15000 μg= 15000 \, \mu\text{g}
