nanogram to femtogram
Convert nanogram (ng) to femtogram (fg). Use an editable mass converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 ng = 1,000,000 fg
Conversion formula
One nanogram equals 1,000,000 femtogram. Multiply your value in nanogram by this factor to get femtogram. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanogram:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 fg

About these measurements
Mass quantifies an amount of matter.
The base reference used here is the gram. One nanogram is 1e-9 base units; one femtogram is 1e-15 base units.
Important distinctions
Mass is not force. Avoirdupois ounces and troy ounces have different masses.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert ng to fg?
