How to Convert Reciprocal Siemens to Megohms
The reciprocal siemens and megohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 megohm equals exactly 1000000 reciprocal siemens. This means to convert reciprocal siemens to megohms, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 1/S to megohms:
We need to convert reciprocal siemens to megohms
Since 1 MΩ = 1000000 1/S, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 1/S = 5e-6 MΩ

About These Units
Reciprocal Siemens (1/S)
The ohm is the reciprocal of the siemens (S), the unit of conductance. Resistance R = 1/G where G is conductance. A 1 kΩ resistor has conductance of 0.001 S = 1 mS. Siemens was formerly called "mho" (ohm spelled backward). R(Ω) = 1/G(S).
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.
