Gradian (grad)

A gradian, also known as a gon or grade, is defined as 1/400 of a full rotation. It was designed to simplify calculations in base-10 systems.

A degree is a unit of angle equal to 1/360 of a full rotation. It is the most commonly used unit in day-to-day angle measurements.

Conversion factor:

1\,\text{grad} = 0.9\,\text{deg}

Inverse factor:

1\,\text{deg} = 1.11111\,\text{grad}

Example

Convert 15 grad to deg:

\text{deg} = \text{grad} \times 0.9

\text{deg} = 15 \times 0.9

\text{deg} = 13.5

= 13.5 \, \text{deg}
