How the formula works
Both milligram per liter and hectogram per liter measure the same physical quantity (mass per unit volume), so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in milligram per liter by 1e-5 to get hectogram per liter. To reverse the conversion, multiply a hectogram per liter value by 100000 to get back to milligram per liter.
