Converting the other way: grams to carats

carats = grams × 5. So 8 grams is back to 40 carats; one gram is 5 carats. See the grams to carats table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.2: 40 × 0.2 ≈ 8 g, against the exact 8 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.
