Formula
GΩ = kΩ × 1e-6
Multiply any value in kilo-ohms by 1e-6 to obtain the value in giga-ohms.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 kΩ to GΩ.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 kΩ.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 GΩ.
Result1.00000e+6 kΩ = 1 GΩ

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kΩ to GΩ?
1 kΩ equals 1e-6 GΩ. To convert, multiply the value in kilo-ohms by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 kΩ to GΩ?
1 kΩ = 1e-6 GΩ. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert GΩ back to kΩ?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 GΩ = 1.00000e+6 kΩ.
When would I need to convert kilo-ohm to giga-ohm?
Resistance conversions between kΩ and GΩ 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).
