Formula
kΩ = GΩ × 1000000
Multiply any value in giga-ohms by 1000000 to obtain the value in kilo-ohms.
Worked example
Convert 1 GΩ to kΩ.
- 01Start with 1 GΩ.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 kΩ.
Result1 GΩ = 1.00000e+6 kΩ

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from GΩ to kΩ?
1 GΩ equals 1000000 kΩ. To convert, multiply the value in giga-ohms by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 GΩ to kΩ?
1 GΩ = 1.00000e+6 kΩ. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert kΩ back to GΩ?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 kΩ = 1e-6 GΩ.
When would I need to convert giga-ohm to kilo-ohm?
Resistance conversions between GΩ and kΩ are used in electrical-network analysis, instrumentation (RTD/thermistor specification), grounding and bonding measurements, and electronics design. Ohms cover most circuit calculations; kΩ and MΩ appear in input-impedance specs, while milli-ohms cover bus-bar joints and shunt resistors.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
