How to Convert Gigaohms to Kiloohms
To convert gigaohms to kiloohms, multiply the electrical resistance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 kiloohms/gigaohm.
Since one gigaohm is equal to 1,000,000 kiloohms, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kiloohms = gigaohms × 1,000,000
The electrical resistance in kiloohms is equal to the electrical resistance in gigaohms multiplied by 1,000,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 gigaohms to kiloohms using the formula above.
kiloohms = (5 GΩ × 1,000,000) = 5,000,000 kΩ
How Many Kiloohms Are in a Gigaohm?
There are 1,000,000 kiloohms in a gigaohm, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 GΩ = 1,000,000 kΩ
Gigaohms and kiloohms are both units used to measure electrical resistance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gigaohm?
One gigaohm is equal to 1,000,000,000 ohms, which is the resistance between two points of a conductor with one ampere of current at one volt.
The gigaohm is a multiple of the ohm, the SI derived unit for electrical resistance. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigaohms can be abbreviated as GΩ; for example, 1 gigaohm can be written as 1 GΩ.

What Is a Kiloohm?
One kiloohm is equal to 1,000 ohms. A kiloohm is the resistance across a conductor with an electrical potential difference of 1,000 volts with one ampere of current flowing through it.
The kiloohm is a multiple of the ohm, the SI derived unit for electrical resistance. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kiloohms can be abbreviated as kΩ; for example, 1 kiloohm can be written as 1 kΩ.
