Metric Conversions

To convert between metric units, use the table below to help you calculate your answer.

kilo- hecto- deca- unit deci- centi- milli-

× 103 × 102 × 10 × 10 × 102 × 103


1 unit
bigger than 1 unit bigger than 1 unit bigger than 1 unit smaller than 1 unit smaller than 1 unit smaller than 1 unit

× 10 if you are calculating a smaller unit × 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 if you are calculating a larger unit

km = kilometre hm = hectometre dam = decametre m = metre dm = decimetre cm = centimetre mm = millilitre

kg = kilogram hg = hectogram dag = decagram g = gram dg = decigram cg = centigram mg = milligram

kl = kilolitre hl = hectolitre dal = decalitre l = litre dl = decilitre cl = centilitre ml = millilitre

1 1 1 1 unit
kilo hecto deca 10 deci- 100 centi- 1000 milli-
1000 100 10 is equal to

1000m = 1km 100m = 1hm 10m = 1dam metre 1m = 10dm 1m = 100cm 1m = 1000mm

1000g = 1kg 100g = 1hg 10g = 1dag gram 1g = 10dg 1g = 100cg 1g = 1000mg

1000l = 1kl 100l = 1hl 10l = 1dal litre 1l = 10dl 1l = 100cl 1l = 1000ml
