How to convert nanometers to gigameters
1 nanometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻¹⁸ gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 1 × 10¹⁸ nanometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = nanometers × 1 × 10⁻¹⁸
gigameters = nanometers ÷ 1 × 10¹⁸Example: convert 1 nm to Gm: 1 × 1 × 10⁻¹⁸ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁸ Gm.

About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
