Convert point to carat

Learn how to convert 1 point to carat step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (c a r a t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (p o i n t) = 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} (k i l o g r a m) = 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (c a r a t) = 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4} (k i l o g r a m) = 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (c a r a t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (k g) = x \times 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

2.0 \times 10^{- 6} = x \times 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.0 \times {10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 2}} = x \times 2.5919564 \times 10^{- 4}

Simplify

2.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.5919564

Switch sides

x \times 2.5919564 = 2.0 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.5919564})

x \times 2.5919564 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5919564} = 2.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5919564}

Cancel

x \times 2.5919564 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5919564} = 2.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5919564}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.0 \times 10^{- 2}}{2.5919564}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0077161792 \approx 7.7162 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 7.7162 \times 10^{- 3} (c a r a t)
