Kilograms to metric tons Conversion
1 kilograms (kg) is equal to 0.001 metric tons (t).
1 kg = 0.001 t
or
1 t = 1000 kg
Formula
To convert a mass from kilograms (kg) to metric tons (t), divide the mass in kilograms by 1000
m(t) = m(kg) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 70 kilograms to metric tons:
m(t) = 70kg / 1000 = 0.07 t
