Converting the other way: kilograms to carats

carats = kilograms × 5,000. So 0.1 kilograms is back to 500 carats; one kilogram is 5,000 carats. See the kilograms to carats table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.0002: 500 × 0.0002 ≈ 0.1 kg, against the exact 0.1 kg (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 kilogram, so the number of kilograms must come out smaller than the number of carats. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
