To convert grams to kilograms, we need to know that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. Therefore, to convert grams to kilograms, we divide the number of grams by 1000.
Step 1: Understanding the Conversion Factor
To convert grams to kilograms, we use the conversion factor that \(1 \, \text{kg} = 1000 \, \text{g}\).
Step 2: Applying the Conversion Factor
Given \(1 \, \text{g}\), we divide by 1000 to convert to kilograms:
\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{\text{grams}}{1000}
\]
Step 3: Calculation
Substituting the given value:
\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{1000} = 0.001 \, \text{kg}
\]
