A gradian is an angle unit where a full circle equals 400 gradians.
Gradians were introduced as a decimal angle system and became useful in selected surveying and engineering workflows.
Gradians are used in some surveying, civil engineering, mapping, and decimal-angle measurement contexts.
A degree is an angle unit equal to one three-hundred-sixtieth of a full circle.
Degrees have long been used in astronomy, geometry, navigation, and mapping.
Degrees are used in geometry, navigation, surveying, mapping, drafting, weather direction, and everyday angle measurements.
Mathematically, degree (°) = gradian (gon) converted with the formula below.
1 gon = 0.9 °
1 ° = 1.111111 gon
Formula: value × 0.9
Example: 15 gon = 13.5 °
Precision note: Use degrees = gradians x 0.9. The factor is exact because 100 gradians equals 90 degrees.
1 gon = 0.9 °
1 ° = 1.111111 gon
| Gradian [gon] | Degree [°] |
|---|---|
| 0.01 gon | 0.009 ° |

| 1 gon | 0.9 ° |
| 2 gon | 1.8 ° |
| 5 gon | 4.5 ° |
| 10 gon | 9 ° |
| 20 gon | 18 ° |
| 50 gon | 45 ° |
| 100 gon | 90 ° |
One gradian equals 0.9 degrees.
100 gradians equals 90 degrees.
A full circle contains 400 gradians, which equals 360 degrees.
