How to Convert Kiloohms to Gigaohms
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in kiloohms to a measurement in gigaohms, divide 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:
gigaohms = kiloohms ÷ 1,000,000
The electrical resistance in gigaohms is equal to the electrical resistance in kiloohms divided by 1,000,000.
Kiloohms and gigaohms are both units used to measure electrical resistance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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, which is 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.

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, which is 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.
