how to convert mmol to mol

To convert millimoles (mmol) to moles (mol), follow these steps:

1. Understand the units:

   • 1 mole (mol) = 1000 millimoles (mmol).

2. Conversion formula:

   • To convert mmol to mol, divide the number of millimoles by 1000.

   • Formula:

     mol = mmol / 1000

3. Example:

   • If you have 500 mmol, the conversion to mol would be:

     500 mmol ÷ 1000 = 0.5 mol

This conversion is commonly used in chemistry and medical fields, especially when dealing with blood glucose levels or other biochemical measurements.
