Any tips or advice on med conversion calculation of grams to milligrams to micrograms? I looked through a few books but it doesn't really give easy ways to know this.

I remember seeing something like this but ugh I don't have my notes on it.

For example: 1g (divided by 1000=) .001mg (divided by 1000=) .0000001mcg

Is this right?
