The equivalency for grams to centigrams is:

1 gram = 100centigrams

To convert the units you can apply cross multiplication:

1gr_____100cgr

443gr____xcgr


\begin{gathered} (100)/(1)=(x)/(443) \\ x=443\cdot100=44300 \end{gathered}

This means that 443 grams equals to 44300 centigrams

The scale is done in a base of 10 and the grams are in its center with value 1.

To convert from smaller units to grater units you have to divide the given measurement by 10

And to convert from greater units to smaller units you have to multiply by 10.

For example if you have 1mg and want to convert it to grams you have to divide the value 3 times by 10, i.e. divide the value by 1000


(1mg)/(1000)=0.001g

If you want to convert 1 Kg into 1 decagram, multiply the value two times by 10, i.e. multiply it by 100


1\operatorname{kg}\cdot100=100\text{dag}
