Kilonewton to giganewton converter (kN to GN)

Conversion Formula

1 kN = 1.00e-6 GN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilonewton = 1,000.0 newtons
   1 Giganewton = 1,000,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kN = (1,000.0 N) / (1,000,000,000 N/GN) = 1.00e-6 GN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kN by 1.00e-6 to get the equivalent in GN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kN to GN:

5 kN × 1.00e-6 = 5.00e-6 GN
