Conversions

1 microgram = .001 milligrams = .000001 grams

1 gram = 1,000 milligrams = 1,000,000 micrograms

1 milliliter = .001 liters

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

Examples

Convert 2 milligrams to grams.

To convert from milligrams to grams move the decimal point to the left 3 places:

2.0 becomes .002
2.0 milligrams = .002 grams

Convert 1 liter to milliliters.

To convert from liters to milliliters move the decimal point to the right 3 places:

1.0 becomes 1000.0
1.0 liters = 1,000 milliliters

Note

I built this calculator in mind for medications and typical IV fluid volumes.  Search elsewhere if you're looking for other applications.  Yes, milliliters and cubic centimeters (cc) can be used interchangeably.
