Why convert milligrams to proton mass?

Converting to proton mass allows expressing macroscopic masses in terms of a fundamental particle's mass, which is valuable in nuclear and particle physics.

Is this conversion useful in everyday measurements?

No, this conversion is mainly for scientific research and is not practical for common weight or mass measurements.

How is the conversion factor determined?

It is based on the CODATA recommended proton mass value and the definition of milligram as one thousandth of a gram.
