What is the exact conversion rate from newton to millinewton?

One newton is equal to one thousand millinewtons (1 N = 1000 mN).

Why would I convert newtons to millinewtons?

Converting to millinewtons is useful when measuring or specifying very small forces that are difficult to represent accurately in newtons.

Can I use millinewtons to express very large forces?

No, millinewtons are best suited for small forces; large forces expressed in millinewtons yield impractical numeric values.
