Convert gon to mil
Please provide values below to convert gon [gon] to mil [mil], or Convert mil to gon.
1 gon = 16 mil. To convert gon to mil, multiply the value by 16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mil = 0.0625 gon). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 gon = 16 mil
- 1 mil = 0.0625 gon
- 10 gon = 160 mil
- 100 gon = 1600 mil
How to Convert Gon to Mil

Gon
A gon, also known as a grad, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used primarily in surveying and engineering.
History/Origin
The gon was introduced in France during the 19th century as part of the metric system to provide a more decimal-friendly division of angles, replacing traditional units like degrees and radians in certain applications.
Current Use
Gons are mainly used in surveying, cartography, and some engineering fields, especially in countries that adopted the metric system, for precise angle measurements and calculations.
Mil
A mil is a unit of angular measurement equal to one thousandth of a radian, used primarily in military and engineering contexts to measure small angles.
History/Origin
The mil originated from military applications, particularly in artillery and targeting, where precise small-angle measurements are necessary. It has been adopted in various fields for its convenience in measuring small angles and distances.
Current Use
Today, the mil is used in military artillery, surveying, and engineering to measure small angles accurately. It is also employed in some countries' military and technical standards for precision measurements.
