Convert revolution to gon
Please provide values below to convert revolution [r] to gon [gon], or Convert gon to revolution.
1 r = 400 gon. To convert revolution to gon, multiply the value by 400; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gon = 0.0025 r). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 r = 400 gon
- 1 gon = 0.0025 r
- 10 r = 4000 gon
- 100 r = 40000 gon
How to Convert Revolution to Gon
1 r = 400 gon
Example: convert 15 r to gon:
15 r = 15 × 400 gon = 6000 gon

Revolution
A revolution is a complete turn or rotation around a central point, typically measuring 360 degrees in angular terms.
History/Origin
The concept of a revolution as a full rotation has origins in ancient geometry and astronomy, with the term 'revolution' historically used to describe celestial orbits and rotations in various cultures.
Current Use
In modern contexts, the unit 'revolution' (symbol: r) is used to quantify angular displacement, especially in mechanical and engineering applications, where one revolution equals 360 degrees or 2π radians.
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.
