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.
Microgram
A microgram (ug) equals 10^-9 kilogram, or one-millionth of a gram.
From the SI prefix 'micro-' (from Greek 'mikros', small).
Trace nutrients, potent drug doses, and environmental contaminant levels.
The micro- prefix was incorporated into the SI in 1960.
Exagram to Microgram conversion formula
The relationship between exagrams and micrograms:
To convert exagrams to micrograms, multiply the value in exagrams by 1e+24. To reverse, multiply micrograms by 1e-24.
How to use this converter
Type a value into the calculator. The result in micrograms updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Microgram to Exagram converter for the reverse direction.
Step-by-step: convert exagrams to micrograms
- Write down the value in exagrams (Eg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+24.
- The product is the equivalent value in micrograms (µg).
- To reverse, multiply the microgram value by 1e-24.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Eg to µg:
1 × 1e+24 = 1e+24 µg
Example 2 — Convert 100 Eg to µg:
100 × 1e+24 = 1e+26 µg
