What is a decigram used for?

A decigram is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram, commonly used to weigh small laboratory samples, food ingredients, or small craft pieces requiring sub-gram precision.

Why use the talent (Biblical Greek) unit?

The talent is an ancient mass unit helpful for interpreting large quantities of precious metals in biblical and classical contexts, assisting historical, archaeological, and economic studies.

Can I use this converter for modern trade?

No, because the talent unit varied historically and is not standardized for modern commercial or practical trade purposes.
