What is a centigram used for?

A centigram is typically used to measure small masses such as laboratory samples, pharmaceutical ingredients, and small biological specimens.

Why convert from centigrams to exagrams?

This conversion allows users to compare or calculate masses spanning from very small scales to extremely large scales, such as in scientific research involving both microscopic and planetary masses.

Are the converted exagram values easy to read?

Since exagram values resulting from centigram conversions are extremely small, they are usually expressed in scientific notation for clarity and practical use.
