#2.8642 " kilograms"#

Explanation:

With metric, we move in powers of 10 (essentially we move the decimal place in the number we are working with).

Let's do this question in steps. The next biggest measure from grams is decagrams (they are 10 times bigger than grams, and so our number will be 10 times smaller):

#2864.2 " grams"=286.42 " decagrams"#

The next biggest measure is hectograms:

#286.42 " decagrams"=28.642 " hectograms"#

And now we get to kilograms:

#28.642 " hectograms"=2.8642 " kilograms"#
