Convert giga to pico

Learn how to convert 1 giga to pico step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (g i g a) = x (p i c o)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f g i g a i s 10^{9}

T h e v a l u e o f p i c o i s 10^{- 12}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (g i g a) = x (p i c o)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{9} = x \times 10^{- 12}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{9} = x \cdot 10^{- 12}

Conversion Equation

10^{9} = x \times 10^{- 12}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 12} = 10^{9}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}})

x \times 10^{- 12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}} = 10^{9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}} = 10^{9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{9}}{10^{- 12}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 12}} can be rewritten to 10^{12}

Rewrite

x = 10^{12} \times 10^{9}

Simplify

x = 10^{21}

Solve

x

x = 10^{21}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g i g a) = 10^{21} (p i c o)
