How to convert chains (US survey) to gigameters
1 chain (us survey) is equal to 2.011684023 × 10⁻⁸ gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 49,709,595.96 chains (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = chains (US survey) × 2.011684023 × 10⁻⁸
gigameters = chains (US survey) ÷ 49,709,595.96Example: convert 1 ch (US) to Gm: 1 × 2.011684023 × 10⁻⁸ = 2.011684023 × 10⁻⁸ Gm.
