Convert grad to gon
Please provide values below to convert grad [^g] to gon [gon], or Convert gon to grad.
1 ^g = 1 gon. To convert grad to gon, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gon = 1 ^g). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ^g = 1 gon
- 1 gon = 1 ^g
- 10 ^g = 10 gon
- 100 ^g = 100 gon
How to Convert Grad to Gon
1 ^g = 1 gon
Example: convert 15 ^g to gon:
15 ^g = 15 × 1 gon = 15 gon

Grad
A grad, also known as a gon, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, or 0.9 degrees.
History/Origin
The grad was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system for surveying and military purposes, primarily used in Europe. It was designed to simplify calculations related to angles and bearings.
Current Use
Today, the grad is used mainly in surveying, cartography, and military applications in some countries. It is also employed in certain scientific and engineering contexts where a decimal-based angular unit is preferred.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 grad in gon?
1 grad (^g) = 1 gon (gon).
How do you convert grad to gon?
Multiply the grad value by 1. For example, 25 ^g × 1 = 25 gon.
What is 10 grad in gon?
10 ^g = 10 gon.
Which unit is larger, the grad or the gon?
The gon is the larger unit: 1 ^g equals only 1 gon.
