How to Convert Metric Tons to Grams

To convert a measurement in metric tons to a measurement in grams, multiply the weight by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 grams/metric ton.

Since one metric ton is equal to 1,000,000 grams, you can use this simple formula to convert:

grams = metric tons × 1,000,000

The weight in grams is equal to the weight in metric tons multiplied by 1,000,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5 metric tons to grams using the formula above.
grams = (5 t × 1,000,000) = 5,000,000 g

How Many Grams Are in a Metric Ton?
