Convert milligram to attogram
Enter a value below to convert milligram [mg] to attogram [ag]. Reverse conversion: Convert attogram to milligram.
1 mg = 1.0000e+15 ag. To convert milligram to attogram, multiply the value by 1.0000e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ag = 1.0000e-15 mg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Milligram to Attogram: Quick Reference
- 1 mg = 1.0000e+15 ag
- 1 ag = 1.0000e-15 mg
- 10 mg = 1.0000e+16 ag
- 100 mg = 1.0000e+17 ag
How to Convert Milligram to Attogram
1 mg = 1e+15 ag
Example: convert 15 mg to ag:
15 mg = 15 × 1e+15 ag = 1.5e+16 ag

Milligram: Definition and Use
A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram.
History/Origin
The milligram has been used in scientific and medical contexts for precise measurement of small quantities, especially in pharmacology and chemistry, with its origins linked to the metric system established in the 18th century.
Current Use
Today, the milligram is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and scientific research to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
Attogram: Definition and Use
An attogram (ag) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-18 grams, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The attogram was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific measurements, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and molecular biology, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Attograms are primarily used in scientific research to quantify very small masses, such as individual molecules or nanoparticles, and are part of the SI units for precise measurements in advanced scientific applications.
