Centigram To Carat (Cg To Ct) Converter

The Centigram To Carat (Cg To Ct) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert weights measured in centigrams to carats. Understanding these units is essential for those working with gemstones, jewelry, or precious metals.

A centigram (Cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram. It is commonly used in measuring small weights, especially in jewelry and gemstone industries. One centigram equals 0.01 grams.

A carat (Ct) is a traditional unit of weight used primarily for gemstones and pearls. One carat is exactly 200 milligrams, which is equivalent to 0.2 grams. Carats are widely used to specify the weight of diamonds and other precious stones.

To convert from centigrams to carats, you can use the following formula:
Carats (Ct) = Centigrams (Cg) ÷ 20

For example, if you have 50 centigrams, the conversion to carats would be:
50 Cg ÷ 20 = 2.5 Ct

This converter simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly switch between these two units and better understand the weight of your gemstones or jewelry pieces.
