Formula

How to convert Radians to Gradians

To convert radians to gradians, multiply by 63.66198. One radian equals 63.66198 grad, and one gradian equals 0.015708 rad.

  1. Take the value in radians — for example 7.5 rad.
  2. Multiply by 63.66198 (the number of gradians in one radian).
  3. 7.5 × 63.66198 = 477.4648 grad.

Quick mental estimate: Multiply the number of radians by 64 (within 0.5% of the exact answer).

About converting Radians to Gradians

Radians (rad) and Gradians (grad) are both units of angle. The exact factor is 1 rad = 63.66198 grad, so multiply by 63.66198 to go from radians to gradians (or divide to go back).

The units

Radians (rad)

The SI unit of angle: the angle whose arc equals the radius; a full turn is 2π.

Used for: Maths, physics and programming (Math.sin uses radians).

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.

Frequently asked questions
