Centinewton to giganewton converter (cN to GN)

Conversion Formula

1 cN = 1.00e-11 GN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Centinewton = 0.010000 newtons
   1 Giganewton = 1,000,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 cN = (0.010000 N) / (1,000,000,000 N/GN) = 1.00e-11 GN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in cN by 1.00e-11 to get the equivalent in GN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 cN to GN:

5 cN × 1.00e-11 = 5.00e-11 GN
