Hint: We all know the basic conversion that is 1 Milligram (mg) is equal to 0.001 gram (g). To acquire the conversion of milligrams to grams we just need multiply the milligram value by 0.001 or by simply divide it by 1000
Milligram is a metric system mass unit. 1 mg = 0.001g The symbol is "mg".
For example, to convert 70 mg to grams, multiply 70 by 0.001 that makes 0.07 gram is 70 mg.
milligrams to grams formula :
gram = milligram × 0.001
gram = milligram1000
1 Milligram = 0.001 Gram

Complete answer:
Firstly we should know the concept of conversion factor by the term conversion factor we mean that the formula which is applied to change the one set of units to another that is formula
which is required to convert a given measurement from one unit to the another by either multiplying or by dividing with the given statement.
1 milligram (mg) which is equal to 11000 grams
1 mg = (11000) g = 0.001 g
The mass in grams (g) which is equal to the mass in milligrams (mg) it is divided by 1000
m(g) = m(mg)1000 
Example we have to convert 15mg to grams:
m(g) = 15 mg1000= 0.015 g

Note:Conversion factors are required because while doing the numerical we have different values in different units and while doing the calculation all the units should be the same, so we have to either multiply or by dividing the given value with unit of conversion value so that to convert their unit from one form to another vice versa.
