Converting from Giga (G) to Pico (p) | SI prefixes

What is Giga (G)

Giga (G) is one of the SI prefixes used to denote a factor of 10^9, which means 1 Gigabyte is equal to 1 billion bytes.

What is Pico (p)

Pico (p) is another SI prefix representing a factor of 10^-12. Pico is often used in fields like electronics and telecommunications to measure very small quantities.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Giga to Pico, you can use the formula:

p=G×1027

And to convert from Pico to Giga:

G=p×10−27

Examples

1 Giga is equal to 10^21 pico:

1(G)=1000000000000000000000(p)

Similarly, if you have 7 Gigas, it would be equivalent to 7 x 10^21 pico:

7(G)=7000000000000000000000(p)

On the other hand, 12 Picos would be equivalent to 0.000000000000000000012 Gigas:

12(p)=0.000000000000000000012(G)

Conclusion

You can use these conversion formulas to easily switch between Giga and Pico measurements. Next time you need to convert values between these two SI prefixes, refer back to this page for guidance.
