Gigaelectronvolt to erg converter (gev to erg)

Conversion Formula

1 gev = 0.001602 erg

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigaelectronvolt = 1.60e-10 joules
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gev = (1.60e-10 J) / (1.00e-7 J/erg) = 0.001602 erg
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gev by 0.001602 to get the equivalent in erg

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gev to erg:
