About Converting Gigaohms to Megaohms
Gigaohm and Megaohm 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 megaohm is 1000000 ohm units.
Formula
megaohms = gigaohms × 1000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gigaohm equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 megaohm equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gigaohm-to-megaohm factor of 1000.
Simple example
1 GOhm × 1000 = 1,000 MOhm
1 gigaohm = 1,000 megaohms.
Real-world example
120 GOhm × 1000 = 120,000 MOhm
120 gigaohms = 120,000 megaohms.

Frequently asked questions
How many megaohms are in 1 gigaohm?
1 gigaohm equals 1,000 megaohms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gigaohm to megaohm?
Multiply the gigaohm value by 1000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaohm back to gigaohm?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaohm equals 0.001 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 megaohm?
Megaohm (MOhm) is a unit of electricity.
Is the gigaohm to megaohm conversion exact?
Yes. Both gigaohm and megaohm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000 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.
