Conversion Formula
The conversion from repeat to grams is based on the fact that 1 repeat equals 3/2 grams. To convert, you multiply the number of repeats by this fraction. This works because the repeat is a decimal representation of the fraction 5/3, which equals 1.666…, and 1.666… equals 5/3 grams.
For example, if you have 2 repeats, multiply 2 by 3/2: 2 * 3/2 = 3 grams. This formula applies to any repeat value, directly translating the repeating decimal into grams based on the fractional equivalence.
Conversion Example
- Convert 4.333 repeats to grams:
- Step 1: Recognize 4.333 as 4 + 1/3, but in decimal form, it’s 4.333.
- Step 2: Multiply 4.333 by 3/2: 4.333 * 1.5 = 6.4995 grams.
- Result: 4.333 repeats equals approximately 6.4995 grams.
- Convert 0.5 repeats:
- Step 1: 0.5 is half a repeat.
- Step 2: Multiply 0.5 by 3/2: 0.5 * 1.5 = 0.75 grams.
- Result: 0.5 repeats is 0.75 grams.
- Convert 10 repeats:
- Step 1: Multiply 10 by 3/2: 10 * 1.5 = 15 grams.
- Result: 10 repeats equals 15 grams.

Conversion Definitions
Repeat
A repeat is a decimal representation of a fractional value, often used in measurements, where the decimal repeats infinitely, such as 1.666…, representing the fraction 5/3, which can be converted into other units like grams.
g
Gram (g) is the metric unit of mass used worldwide, equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram, and commonly used to measure small quantities of weight in different contexts like food, chemistry, and industry.
Conversion FAQs
How precisely does 1.666 repeat equal 5 grams?
Because 1.666… equals 5/3 in fractional form, multiplying by 3 yields 5 grams. The repeating decimal accurately reflects this fractional equivalence, ensuring the conversion is mathematically exact if the decimal is considered infinite.
Can I use the conversion formula for any repeating decimal?
No, this specific formula applies when the decimal repeats as 1.666…, which equals 5/3. Different repeating decimals have different fractional equivalents, so the conversion formula must be adjusted accordingly for other repeating patterns.
What happens if I input a negative value in the converter?
The converter will multiply the negative number by 3/2, resulting in a negative gram value, indicating a negative mass, which might be useful in certain calculations like weight differences or accounting for deficits.
Is this conversion valid for all units of mass?
This conversion specifically applies to grams based on the fractional value of the repeat. For other units like kilograms or ounces, you need to adjust the conversion factor accordingly.
