How the formula works
Both picofarad and gigafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in picofarads by 1.000000e-21 to get gigafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a gigafarad value by 1.000000e+21 to get back to picofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Picofarad (pF)?
A Picofarad (pF) equals 1e-12 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for pico-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 picofarads to gigafarads?
Multiply the picofarad value by 1.000000e-21 to get the equivalent in gigafarads. For example, 5 pF × 1.000000e-21 = 5.000000e-21 GF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-21 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert gigafarads back to picofarads?
Yes. Divide the gigafarad value by 1.000000e-21, or multiply it by 1.000000e+21, to get picofarads.
