How the formula works
Both kilovolt and gigavolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilovolts by 0.000001 to get gigavolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a gigavolt value by 1.000000e+06 to get back to kilovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Gigavolt (GV)?
A Gigavolt (GV) equals 1e+9 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for giga-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kilovolts to gigavolts?
Multiply the kilovolt value by 0.000001 to get the equivalent in gigavolts. For example, 5 kV × 0.000001 = 0.000005 GV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.000001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert gigavolts back to kilovolts?
Yes. Divide the gigavolt value by 0.000001, or multiply it by 1.000000e+06, to get kilovolts.
