How the formula works
Both nanofarad and gigafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in nanofarads by 1.000000e-18 to get gigafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a gigafarad value by 1.000000e+18 to get back to nanofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nanofarad (nF)?
A Nanofarad (nF) equals 1e-09 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for nano-scale electrical work.
What is Gigafarad (GF)?
A Gigafarad (GF) equals 1e+9 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for giga-scale electrical work.
How do I convert nanofarads to gigafarads?
Multiply the nanofarad value by 1.000000e-18 to get the equivalent in gigafarads. For example, 5 nF × 1.000000e-18 = 5.000000e-18 GF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-18 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert gigafarads back to nanofarads?
Yes. Divide the gigafarad value by 1.000000e-18, or multiply it by 1.000000e+18, to get nanofarads.
