How to convert kilometers to gigameters
1 kilometer is equal to 0.000001 gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 1,000,000 kilometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = kilometers × 0.000001
gigameters = kilometers ÷ 1,000,000Example: convert 1 km to Gm: 1 × 0.000001 = 0.000001 Gm.
