millibecquerel to femtobecquerel
Convert millibecquerel (mBq) to femtobecquerel (fBq). Use an editable radioactivity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mBq = 1e+12 fBq
Conversion formula
One millibecquerel equals 1e+12 femtobecquerel. Multiply your value in millibecquerel by this factor to get femtobecquerel. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 millibecquerel:5 × 1e+12 = 5e+12 fBq

About these measurements
Activity measures nuclear decays per second.
The base reference used here is the becquerel. One millibecquerel is 0.001 base units; one femtobecquerel is 1e-15 base units.
Important distinctions
Activity is not absorbed dose or equivalent dose. This is a unit tool, not an exposure assessment.
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 mBq to fBq?
Multiply the quantity in mBq by 1e+12. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the femtobecquerel to millibecquerel converter.
