Units explained
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).
Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.
The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) equals 0.0001 kilogram, or 0.1 gram.
From the SI prefix 'deci-' (from Latin 'decimus', tenth).
Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Teragram to Decigram conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and decigrams:
To convert teragrams to decigrams, multiply the value in teragrams by 1e+13. To reverse, multiply decigrams by 1e-13.
How to use this converter
Type a value into the calculator. The result in decigrams updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Decigram to Teragram converter for the reverse direction.
Step-by-step: convert teragrams to decigrams
- Write down the value in teragrams (Tg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+13.
- The product is the equivalent value in decigrams (dg).
- To reverse, multiply the decigram value by 1e-13.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Tg to dg:
1 × 1e+13 = 1e+13 dg
Example 2 — Convert 100 Tg to dg:
100 × 1e+13 = 1e+15 dg
