megaohm to gigaohm
Convert megaohm (MΩ) to gigaohm (GΩ). Use an editable electrical resistance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 MΩ = 0.001 GΩ
Conversion formula
One megaohm equals 0.001 gigaohm. Multiply your value in megaohm by this factor to get gigaohm. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 megaohm:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 GΩ

About these measurements
Resistance relates voltage to current for a given element.
The base reference used here is the ohm. One megaohm is 1,000,000 base units; one gigaohm is 1,000,000,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Resistance and impedance are not the same physical quantity.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert MΩ to GΩ?
Multiply the quantity in MΩ by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the gigaohm to megaohm converter.
