How to Convert Nanofarads to Microfarads
To convert a measurement in nanofarads to a measurement in microfarads, divide the capacitance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 nanofarads/microfarad.
Since one microfarad is equal to 1,000 nanofarads, you can use this simple formula to convert:
microfarads = nanofarads ÷ 1,000
The capacitance in microfarads is equal to the capacitance in nanofarads divided by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000 nanofarads to microfarads using the formula above.
microfarads = (5,000 nF ÷ 1,000) = 5 μF
Nanofarads and microfarads are both units used to measure capacitance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Nanofarad?
The nanofarad is 1/1,000,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.
The nanofarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for billionths, or 10-9. Nanofarads can be abbreviated as nF; for example, 1 nanofarad can be written as 1 nF.

What Is a Microfarad?
The microfarad is 1/1,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.
The microfarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for millionths, or 10-6. Microfarads can be abbreviated as μF; for example, 1 microfarad can be written as 1 μF.
