Facts and limits of this method
| Formula | Tonnes = grams × factor |
|---|---|
| 1 gram | 0.000001 tonnes |
| 1 tonne | 1000000 grams |
| Rounding | Adjustable from 0 to 6 decimal places |
When it misleads you
- The ratio for converting grams to tonnes is an exactly defined international constant, not a measured approximation (including the pound and ounce, officially fixed by the 1959 international agreement), so the converter doesn't accumulate error regardless of the size of the entered value.
- At "0 — whole number" precision, the fractional part of the result is dropped by standard rounding rules, not truncation.
- The input accepts both a period and a comma as a decimal separator, but doesn't understand thousands-grouping separators — enter the number without them.
- The stone (14 pounds) and the carat (0.2 grams) are units with a fixed but not always obvious conversion factor — if the result looks unexpectedly large or small, check the formula row above.
How it is calculated
The entered value in grams is multiplied by the conversion factor into tonnes — this gives the result.
The result is rounded to the chosen number of decimal places using standard mathematical rounding.
The "1 tonne = …" row shows the reverse ratio — one divided by the original factor — so you can quickly check which direction the conversion runs.
The calculation updates instantly on every change to the input field or precision, with no separate button.
