carats = metric tons × 5,000,000. So 0.0000034 metric tons is back to 17 carats; one metric ton is 5,000,000 carats. See the metric tons to carats table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 2e-7: 17 × 2e-7 ≈ 0.0000034 t, against the exact 0.0000034 t (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 metric ton, so the number of metric tons must come out smaller than the number of carats. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
