Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Yo:

There are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram so;

450,000 grams * 1000 = 450,000,000 milligrams.

4.5 x 10^-1 is scientific notation for 0.45. It’s also referred to as exponential notation. On a calculator or computer, where a superscript font isn’t available for the exponent, it can also be written as 4.5E-1. “E” simply stands for exponent.

Scientific notation is shorthand for writing very large or small numbers in a shorter format. Examples (using the numbers above):

450,000 can be written 4.5E+5.
450,000,000 can be written 4.5E+8

For more information, do a Google search for “scientific notation”.
