If a kilogram is 1,000 times larger than a gram and a microgram is 1,000 times smaller than a gram, how many times larger is a kilgoram to a microgram?
-----------------
A kg is not 1000 times larger than a gram. It's 1000 times as large.
1 kg = 1000 grams
-----------------
"1000 times smaller" makes no sense.
1 time smaller is zero, how can anything be 1000 times smaller?
--------------
1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms, not 1000
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
----
1 kg = 1,000,000,000 micrograms
