Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 5000: 300 × 5000 ≈ 1,500,000 ct, against the exact 1,500,000 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 kilogram is bigger than a carat, so the number of carats must come out larger than the number of kilograms. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
