How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (g) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 12,000 | exact |
| 1 decimal | 12,000.0 | exact |
| 2 decimals | 12,000.00 | exact |
Round trip: take 12,000 g back the other way and you land on 12.0000 kg — a drift of 0.0000 kg. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
