Convert Gigohm to Microohm
Type the number of gigohms that you wish to convert to microohms.
How to Convert Gigohms to Microohms
The gigohm and microohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 gigohm equals exactly 1e15 microohms. This means to convert gigohms to microohms, you multiply by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 GΩ to microohms:
We need to convert gigohms to microohms
Since 1 GΩ = 1e15 μΩ, multiply by 1e15
5 × 1e15 = 5e15
5 GΩ = 5e15 μΩ

About These Units
Gigohm (GΩ)
A gigohm (GΩ) equals 10⁹ ohms or 1,000 megohms. Measures high-impedance circuits, electrostatic voltmeter input resistance, insulation resistance of good insulators, and humidity sensor resistance in dry conditions.
Microohm (μΩ)
A microohm (μΩ) equals 10⁻⁶ ohms. Measures contact resistance, relay contacts, switch contacts, solder joints, and near-superconducting materials. Copper wire: ~17 μΩ·cm resistivity. Requires precision 4-wire Kelvin measurement.
