Converting the other way: metric tons to grams

grams = metric tons × 1,000,000. So 0.005 metric tons is back to 5,000 grams; one metric ton is 1,000,000 grams. See the metric tons to grams table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.000001: 5,000 × 0.000001 ≈ 0.005 t, against the exact 0.005 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 gram is smaller than a metric ton, so the number of metric tons must come out smaller than the number of grams. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
