Convert hectometer to gigameter
Please provide values below to convert hectometer [hm] to gigameter [Gm], or Convert gigameter to hectometer.
1 hm = 1e-07 Gm. To convert hectometer to gigameter, multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Gm = 10000000 hm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hm = 1e-07 Gm
- 1 Gm = 10000000 hm
- 10 hm = 1e-06 Gm
- 100 hm = 1e-05 Gm
How to Convert Hectometer to Gigameter
1 hm = 1e-07 Gm
Example: convert 15 hm to Gm:
15 hm = 15 × 1e-07 Gm = 1.5e-06 Gm

Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
Gigameter
A gigameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^9 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "giga-" for 10^9 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The gigameter is used for measuring interplanetary distances, for example, the distance between Earth and Mars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 hectometer in gigameter?
1 hectometer (hm) = 1e-07 gigameter (Gm).
How do you convert hectometer to gigameter?
Multiply the hectometer value by 1e-07. For example, 25 hm × 1e-07 = 2.5e-06 Gm.
What is 10 hectometer in gigameter?
10 hm = 1e-06 Gm.
Which unit is larger, the hectometer or the gigameter?
The gigameter is the larger unit: 1 hm equals only 1e-07 Gm.
