5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why would I need to convert mg to mg?
A: While mathematically identical, this can be useful for verifying measurements, educational purposes, or as part of automated calculation systems.

Q2: Are milligrams and milliliters the same?
A: No, milligrams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. They are only equivalent when dealing with water (1 ml water ≈ 1 g = 1000 mg).

Q3: What's smaller than a milligram?
A: Micrograms (μg) are 1/1000 of a milligram, and nanograms (ng) are 1/1000 of a microgram.

Q4: How precise is this conversion?
A: It's mathematically exact since it's the same unit. Precision is limited only by your input value's precision.

Q5: Can I convert other units with this?
A: This calculator specifically handles mg to mg conversions. For other conversions, please use the appropriate calculator.
