To convert a gradian measurement to a revolution measurement, divide the angle by the conversion ratio.

Since one revolution is equal to 400 gradians, you can use this simple formula to convert:

revolutions = gradians ÷ 400

The angle in revolutions is equal to the gradians divided by 400.

For example, here's how to convert 500 gradians to revolutions using the formula above.

500^g = (500 ÷ 400) = 1.25 r

Gradians and revolutions are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Gradians

A gradian is equal to 1/400 of a revolution or circle, or 9/10°. The grad, or gon, is more precisely defined as π/200, or 1.570796 × 10^-2 radians.^[1]

This unit simplifies the measurements of right angles, as 90° is equal to 100 gradians.

Right angles in gradians
Gradians	Degrees
0 grad	0°
100 grad	90°
200 grad	180°
300 grad	270°
400 grad	360°

A gradian is sometimes also referred to as a grad, gon, or grade. Gradians can be abbreviated as ^g, and are also sometimes abbreviated as gr or grd. For example, 1 gradian can be written as 1^g, 1 gr, or 1 grd.

In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.

Revolutions

A revolution, or turn, is equal to 1 rotation around a circle, or 360°. Revolutions are commonly used to measure the speed of rotation, for example when measuring the revolutions per minute (RPM) of a vehicle's engine.

A revolution is sometimes also referred to as a turn, cycle, or complete rotation. Revolutions can be abbreviated as r, and are also sometimes abbreviated as rev or cyc. For example, 1 revolution can be written as 1 r, 1 rev, or 1 cyc.
