How to Convert Gigaohms to Megaohms
To convert gigaohms to megaohms, multiply the electrical resistance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 megaohms/gigaohm.
Since one gigaohm is equal to 1,000 megaohms, you can use this simple formula to convert:
megaohms = gigaohms × 1,000
The electrical resistance in megaohms is equal to the electrical resistance in gigaohms multiplied by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 gigaohms to megaohms using the formula above.
megaohms = (5 GΩ × 1,000) = 5,000 MΩ
How Many Megaohms Are in a Gigaohm?
There are 1,000 megaohms in a gigaohm, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 GΩ = 1,000 MΩ
Gigaohms and megaohms 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 Megaohm?
One megaohm is equal to 1,000,000 ohms. A megaohm is the resistance across a conductor with an electrical potential difference of 1,000,000 volts with one ampere of current flowing through it.
The megaohm is a multiple of the ohm, the SI derived unit for electrical resistance. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megaohms can be abbreviated as MΩ; for example, 1 megaohm can be written as 1 MΩ.
