Gradian

A gradian is an angle unit where a right angle equals 100 gradians and a full circle equals 400 gradians.

Gradians were introduced as a centesimal angle system and remain useful in selected survey and engineering references.

Gradians are used in some surveying, civil engineering, mapping, and decimal-angle workflows.

Radian

A radian is an angle unit where the arc length equals the radius of the circle.

Radians became central in mathematics because they simplify trigonometric and circular relationships.

Radians are used in trigonometry, calculus, physics, programming, robotics, engineering, and signal analysis.

How to Convert Gradian to Radian

Mathematically, radian (rad) = gradian (gon) converted with the formula below.

1 gon = 0.015708 rad

1 rad = 63.661977 gon

Formula: value × 0.0157079632679

Example: 15 gon = 0.235619 rad

  1. Start with the angle value in gradians.
  2. Use the relationship that 200 gradians equals pi radians.
  3. Multiply the gradian value by pi.
  4. Divide by 200 to get radians.

Precision note: Use radians = gradians x pi / 200. Keep pi precision through the calculation and round only the final value.
