About Converting Gigaohms to Centiohms
Gigaohm and Centiohm both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Gigaohm is 1000000000 ohm units, and centiohm is 0.01 ohm units.
Formula
centiohms = gigaohms × 100000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gigaohm equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 centiohm equals 0.01 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gigaohm-to-centiohm factor of 100000000000.
Simple example
1 GOhm × 100000000000 = 100,000,000,000 cOhm
1 gigaohm = 100,000,000,000 centiohms.
Real-world example
120 GOhm × 100000000000 = 1.2e+13 cOhm
120 gigaohms = 1.2e+13 centiohms.

Reverse conversion: Centiohm to Gigaohm
1 cOhm × 1e-11 = 1e-11 GOhm
1 centiohm = 1e-11 gigaohms.
gigaohms = centiohms × 1e-11

Frequently asked questions
How many centiohms are in 1 gigaohm?
1 gigaohm equals 100,000,000,000 centiohms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gigaohm to centiohm?
Multiply the gigaohm value by 100000000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centiohm back to gigaohm?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centiohm equals 1e-11 gigaohms. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gigaohm?
Gigaohm (GOhm) is a unit of electricity.
What is a centiohm?
Centiohm (cOhm) is a unit of electricity.
Is the gigaohm to centiohm conversion exact?
Yes. Both gigaohm and centiohm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100000000000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
