Gradians to Degrees Converter

To convert gradians to degrees, simply multiply the angle by the conversion ratio: 0.9 degrees/gradian.

Enter the angle in gradians below to get the value converted to degrees.

How to Convert Gradians to Degrees

To convert an angle from gradians to degrees, follow these steps:

Understand the Inputs: You have an angle measured in gradians that you want to convert to degrees.
Use the Conversion Ratio: Multiply the angle in gradians by the conversion ratio, which is 0.9 degrees per gradian.
Apply the Formula: The formula for conversion is:

Degrees = Gradians × 0.9

Example Calculation: Let’s say you have an angle of 5 gradians that you want to convert to degrees.

Degrees = (5 gradians) × 0.9 = 4.5°

Understand the Relationship: There are 0.9 degrees in one gradian.

So, to convert an angle from gradians to degrees, you simply multiply the angle in gradians by 0.9.

What Are Gradians and Degrees?

Gradians: Gradians are a unit used to measure angles. One gradian is equal to 1/400th of a revolution or circle, which is approximately 0.9 degrees. Gradians are sometimes also called grads, gons, or grades.

Degrees: Degrees are another unit used to measure angles. One degree is equal to 1/360th of a revolution or circle. There are 360 degrees in a full circle.

Both gradians and degrees are used to measure angles, but they have different scales.
