Tonne to Milligram Converter (t to mg)
1 tonne equals 1,000,000,000 milligrams — multiply the number of tonnes by 1,000,000,000 to convert to milligrams. A tonne is a billion milligrams: 1000 kg × 1000 g/kg × 1000 mg/g.
The formula
To convert tonnes to milligrams, multiply by the exact factor 1,000,000,000:
mg = t × 1000000000
For example, 2 t × 1000000000 = 2000000000 mg. To reverse it, divide milligrams by 1,000,000,000.
