Kilograms to quintals

1 kilogram = 0.01 quintals

Type a value in kilograms (kg) to get quintals (q) straight away. A kilogram is smaller than a quintal, so the number goes down. Both units belong to weight, measured here against the kilogram.

1 kg = 0.01 q

Formula

q = kg × 0.01

One kilogram is 0.01 quintals, so multiply by that factor. You can also divide by 100, the number of kilograms in one quintal. Here kg is the value in kilograms and q is the result in quintals.

Worked example: 70 kilograms × 0.01 = 0.7 quintals.
