Volts to Gigavolts Conversion

A gigavolt is one billion volts, so turning volts into gigavolts means dividing by 1,000,000,000. Type a value in volts, press Convert, and the answer is shown in gigavolts.

How to convert volts to gigavolts

One volt equals 0.000000001 gigavolts (10^-9 GV), and one gigavolt equals 1,000,000,000 volts. Because a gigavolt is a billion times larger than a volt, a figure written in volts becomes a very small number when it is written in gigavolts.

Take the voltage in volts and divide it by 1,000,000,000. Entering the number in the field above and pressing Convert does exactly that division and reports the result in GV.

Volts to gigavolts formula

V(GV) = V(V) / 1,000,000,000. In words: the voltage in gigavolts is equal to the voltage in volts divided by ten to the ninth power.

For example, converting 3 volts gives 3 / 1,000,000,000, which is 0.000000003 gigavolts.
