1. Start with the given value:
   
   $$
   1.4 \text{ kilograms}
   $$

2. Use the unit multiplier conversion factor, where:

$$
   1 \text{ kilogram} = 1000 \text{ grams}
   $$

3. Multiply by the unit multiplier so that the "kilograms" units cancel out:

$$
   1.4 \text{ kg} \times \frac{1000 \text{ g}}{1 \text{ kg}} = 1.4 \times 1000 \text{ g}
   $$

4. Calculate the multiplication:

$$
   1.4 \times 1000 = 1400
   $$

5. Therefore,

$$
   1.4 \text{ kg} = 1400 \text{ g}
   $$
1.4 kilograms is equal to 1400 grams.
