Units explained
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.
From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).
Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.
The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.
Quintal (metric)
The metric quintal (q) equals 100 kilograms.
From Latin 'centenarius' (hundredweight) via Arabic 'qintar'.
Agriculture across India, Europe, and Latin America for grain and produce.
Fixed at 100 kg with the spread of the metric system in the 19th century.
Exagram to Quintal (metric) conversion formula
The relationship between exagrams and quintals (metric):
To convert exagrams to quintals (metric), multiply the value in exagrams by 1e+13. To reverse, multiply quintals (metric) by 1e-13.

Step-by-step: convert exagrams to quintals (metric)
- Write down the value in exagrams (Eg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+13.
- The product is the equivalent value in quintals (metric) (q).
- To reverse, multiply the quintal (metric) value by 1e-13.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Eg to q:
1 × 1e+13 = 1e+13 q
Example 2 — Convert 100 Eg to q:
100 × 1e+13 = 1e+15 q
