How to Convert Kilovolts to Gigavolts
To convert a measurement in kilovolts to a measurement in gigavolts, divide the voltage by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 kilovolts/gigavolt.
Since one gigavolt is equal to 1,000,000 kilovolts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
gigavolts = kilovolts ÷ 1,000,000
The voltage in gigavolts is equal to the voltage in kilovolts divided by 1,000,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000,000 kilovolts to gigavolts using the formula above.
gigavolts = (5,000,000 kV ÷ 1,000,000) = 5 GV
Kilovolts and gigavolts are both units used to measure voltage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilovolt?
One kilovolt is equal to 1,000 volts, which are the potential difference that would move one ampere of current against one ohm of resistance.
The kilovolt is a multiple of the volt, which is the SI derived unit for voltage. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilovolts can be abbreviated as kV; for example, 1 kilovolt can be written as 1 kV.

What Is a Gigavolt?
One gigavolt is equal to 1,000,000,000 volts, which are the potential difference that would move one ampere of current against one ohm of resistance.
The gigavolt is a multiple of the volt, which is the SI derived unit for voltage. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigavolts can be abbreviated as GV; for example, 1 gigavolt can be written as 1 GV.
