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 | 5 | exact |
| 1 decimal | 5.0 | exact |
| 2 decimals | 5.00 | exact |
Round trip: take 5.0000 g back the other way and you land on 5,000.0000 mg — a drift of 0.0000 mg. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
