Converting the other way: carats to metric tons
metric tons = carats × 2e-7. So 50,000,000,000 carats is back to 10,000 metric tons; one carat is 2e-7 metric tons. See the carats to metric tons table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 5000000: 10,000 × 5000000 ≈ 50,000,000,000 ct, against the exact 50,000,000,000 ct (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 metric ton is bigger than a carat, so the number of carats must come out larger than the number of metric tons. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
