Force conversion
4 units, with N as the base. Every value in the factor table is the number you multiply by, so reading across a row converts out of that unit and reading down a column converts into it.
Factor table
| from \ to | mN | N | kN | kgf |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mN | 1 | 0.001 | 1 × 10⁻⁶ | 1.01972 × 10⁻⁴ |
| N | 1000 | 1 | 0.001 | 0.101972 |
| kN | 1 × 10⁶ | 1000 | 1 | 101.972 |
| kgf | 9806.65 | 9.80665 | 0.00980665 | 1 |
Prefixes such as milli, micro and kilo follow the SI prefixes table.
