Convert Degrees to Gradians
Please provide values below to convert Degrees [deg] to Gradians [grads].
How to Convert Degrees to Gradians
1 deg = 1.111111111111111 grads
1 grads = 0.9 deg
Example: convert 10 deg to grads: 10 deg = 10 × 1.111111111111111 deg = 11.111111111111109 deg
Degrees
Definition: A degree (°) is a unit of angular measurement, with a full rotation equaling 360 degrees. Since one complete turn corresponds to 2π radians, a single degree is equal to π/180 radians. While not an SI (International System of Units) unit, the degree is officially recognized in the SI brochure.
History: The exact origin of the degree as a unit of rotation and angles remains uncertain. One theory suggests that 360 was chosen for its high divisibility, featuring 24 divisors and being divisible by every number from 1 to 10, except 7. This makes 360 a highly practical choice for measuring angles.
Gradians
Definition: A gradian (or gon) is a unit of angular measurement where a right angle is divided into 100 gradians, making a full rotation equal to 400 gradians.
History: The gradian system was developed in the late 18th century during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was designed to simplify calculations by aligning with decimal-based measurements, though it remains less commonly used today compared to degrees and radians.
