A centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram (0.01 g) or 10 milligrams.
History
The centigram is part of the original metric prefix system. While it has never been widely used in everyday life, it serves as a useful intermediate unit in some educational and technical contexts.
Current use
Centigrams are rarely used in modern practice. They may appear in European pharmaceutical specifications, some chemistry educational materials, and certain specialized industrial measurements.

History
The dram derives from the Greek 'drachma', an ancient coin and weight. It entered English measurement through the apothecaries' system and was later incorporated into the avoirdupois system with a different quantity.
