It's best to think, not in terms of a formula , but an understanding. If you were changing from grams to half grams you wouldn't think of it as a formula, you just understand that three half grams would be one and a half grams. If the metric system was only used by English speaking people, we wouldn't have milligrams, we would talk of thousandths of a gram; because the metric system is used by everybody regardless of language, we need a way of saying thousandths that all languages can express. This is why we have the prefixes, milli- means thousandths. milligrams aren't a different unit from grams, they are just thousandths of a gram, it's still grams.
So rather than a conversion formula, you only need to understand that a milligram means one thousandth of a gram. If you must, you can divide by one thousand.
