Units explained
Momme
The momme (mom) equals 3.75 grams.
A traditional Japanese mass unit (Japanese 'monme').
Pearls, and as the standard weight grade for silk fabric.
Part of the traditional Japanese shakkanho system.
Centigram
A centigram (cg) equals 0.00001 kilogram, or 0.01 gram.
From the SI prefix 'centi-' (from Latin 'centum', hundred).
Used in pharmacology and analytical chemistry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.

1 × 375 = 375 cg
Example 2 — Convert 100 mom to cg:
100 × 375 = 37500 cg
Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units
One momme equals 1,000 centigrams. Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.
1 mom × 375 = 375 cg
Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision
One momme equals 1,000 centigrams — the standard sub-millimeter precision conversion that materials engineers use whenever they switch between bulk material thickness specs (larger unit) and surface-finish characteristics (smaller unit).
1 mom × 375 = 375 cg
