Convert Megohms to Gigohms
Type the number of megohms that you wish to convert to gigohms.
How to Convert Megohms to Gigohms
The megohm and gigohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 gigohm equals exactly 1000 megohms. This means to convert megohms to gigohms, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MΩ to gigohms:
We need to convert megohms to gigohms
Since 1 GΩ = 1000 MΩ, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 MΩ = 0.005 GΩ

About These Units
Megohm (MΩ)
A megohm (MΩ) equals 1,000,000 ohms or 1,000 kilohms. Used for insulation resistance testing (should be >1 MΩ), high-impedance circuits, input resistance of oscilloscopes (1-10 MΩ), and anti-static resistors.
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.
