Formula

How to convert Degrees to Gradians

To convert degrees to gradians, multiply by 1.111111. One degree equals 1.111111 grad, and one gradian equals 0.9 °.

  1. Take the value in degrees — for example 7.5 °.
  2. Multiply by 1.111111 (the number of gradians in one degree).
  3. 7.5 × 1.111111 = 8.333333 grad.

Quick mental estimate: Divide the number of degrees by 0.9 — that is exact.

The units

Degrees (°)

1/360 of a full turn.

Used for: Geometry, navigation and construction.

Gradians (grad)

1/400 of a full turn, so a right angle is 100 grad.

Used for: Surveying in some European countries.

A full turn is 360°, 2π radians or 400 gradians; the radian factor is irrational, so it is shown rounded.
