1 repeat equals approximately 0.000000000000001 grams (g).
The unit “repeat” is an extremely small measure of mass, which converts to grams by multiplying with 1e-15. This means one repeat represents a femtogram level of weight, far smaller than what is usually measured in everyday use.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert repeat to grams is:
grams = repeats × 1 × 10-15
This is because one repeat equals one femtogram (1 fg), and one femtogram is 10 to the power of negative 15 grams. Multiplying the number of repeats by 1e-15 gives the equivalent mass in grams.
Example calculation:
- Convert 5 repeats to grams:
- 5 repeats × 1e-15 = 5 × 0.000000000000001 = 0.000000000000005 grams
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 repeats to grams:
- Multiply 10 by 1e-15
- 10 × 0.000000000000001 = 0.00000000000001 grams
- The result is 1e-14 g or 0.00000000000001 grams
- Convert 100 repeats to grams:
- 100 × 1e-15 = 0.0000000000001 grams
- This is one ten-thousandth of a picogram
- Convert 0.5 repeats to grams:
- 0.5 × 1e-15 = 0.0000000000000005 grams
- Half a repeat equals half a femtogram

Conversion Definitions
Repeat: Repeat is a unit used for measuring extremely small masses, equivalent to one femtogram. It is used in scientific contexts where measurements of sub-microscopic particles or atomic-scale weights are required, representing 10-15 grams.
g: Gram (g) is a metric unit of mass, commonly used for everyday weight measurements. It equals one-thousandth of a kilogram. Grams are used across science, cooking, and commerce to quantify substances with moderate precision.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the repeat to gram conversion factor so small?
Because a repeat equals one femtogram, which is 10⁻¹⁵ grams, the conversion factor is extremely small, reflecting the tiny mass one repeat represents. This scale is used for measurements at atomic or molecular levels.
Can I measure everyday objects in repeats?
Measuring everyday objects in repeats is impractical because repeats represent extremely tiny masses. Most objects weigh millions or billions times more than one repeat, so grams or kilograms are better suited for daily use.
Is there any equipment capable of measuring mass in repeats?
Specialized instruments like mass spectrometers can detect masses at the femtogram level, thus capable of measuring in repeats or equivalent units. Such equipment is found in advanced laboratories for chemical or physical analysis.
Does the repeat unit have applications outside scientific research?
The repeat unit is almost entirely restricted to scientific research where extremely precise mass measurements are needed. It’s rarely used outside this context due to the impracticality of such small units in common scenarios.
How to convert grams back to repeats?
To convert grams to repeats, divide the gram value by 1e-15 (the mass of one repeat). For example, 1 gram equals 1 × 10¹⁵ repeats, showing the reverse operation of the conversion formula.
