When and where it was developed

Part of the original metric system of 1795.

Quintal (metric) to Centigram conversion formula

The relationship between quintals (metric) and centigrams:

1 q = 1e+7 cg
1 cg = 1e-7 q

To convert quintals (metric) to centigrams, multiply the value in quintals (metric) by 1e+7. To reverse, multiply centigrams by 1e-7.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in centigrams updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Centigram to Quintal (metric) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert quintals (metric) to centigrams

  1. Write down the value in quintals (metric) (q).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1e+7.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in centigrams (cg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the centigram value by 1e-7.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 q to cg:
1 × 1e+7 = 1e+7 cg

Example 2 — Convert 100 q to cg:
100 × 1e+7 = 1e+9 cg
