Formula

How to convert Gradians to Degrees

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

  1. Take the value in gradians — for example 7.5 grad.
  2. Multiply by 0.9 (the number of degrees in one gradian).
  3. 7.5 × 0.9 = 6.75 °.

Quick mental estimate: Multiply the number of gradians by 0.9 — that is exact.

About converting Gradians to Degrees

Gradians (grad) and Degrees (°) are both units of angle. The exact factor is 1 grad = 0.9 °, so multiply by 0.9 to go from gradians to degrees (or divide to go back).

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Degrees to Gradians converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.

The units

Gradians (grad)

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

Used for: Surveying in some European countries.

Degrees (°)

1/360 of a full turn.

Used for: Geometry, navigation and construction.

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