Milligrams to Stones conversion

How to convert milligrams to stones?

To convert from milligrams (mg) to stones (st), you need two conversion factors:

1. There are 1,000,000 milligrams in a kilogram.
2. There are 6.35029 kilograms in a stone.

We use these conversion factors to convert milligrams to stones:

Let's convert 1 milligram to stones:

1. Convert milligrams to kilograms: $1 \text{ mg} = \frac{1 \text{ mg}}{1,000,000 \text{ mg/kg}} = 0.000001 \text{ kg}$

2. Convert kilograms to stones: $0.000001 \text{ kg} \times \frac{1 \text{ st}}{6.35029 \text{ kg}} \approx 1.57473 \times 10^{-7} \text{ st}$

So, 1 milligram is approximately $1.57473 \times 10^{-7}$ stones.
