Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.2: 10,000 × 0.2 ≈ 2,000 g, against the exact 2,000 g (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A carat is smaller than a gram, so the number of grams must come out smaller than the number of carats. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
