What are Decigram and Hectogram

Definition of Decigram

A decigram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram. It's not commonly used in daily life but often found in scientific contexts where precise measurements of small quantities are required. With the symbol 'dg', it allows for fine-tuned calculations without the need for decimals or fractions of a gram.

Definition of Hectogram

A hectogram is a unit of mass in the metric system that is equal to one hundred grams. It is commonly used in countries that utilize the metric system, and its symbol is 'hg'. This unit is particularly useful in grocery stores and markets overseas, where produce and other items are often weighed in hectograms.
