- 1 gon = 3240 ″
- 1 × 3240 = 3240 ″
How to convert gradians to seconds of arc
1 gon = 3,240 ″, so multiply by 3,240 to go from gradians (gons) to seconds of arc. Going the other way, 1 ″ = 0.000308641975309 gon.
″ = gon × 3,240 gon = ″ × 0.000308641975309
Worked example:
1 gon = 3240 ″ 5 × 3240 = 16200 ″

About the units
- Gradians (gon)
- Gradians (gons), a specialised unit. Involves π, which no fraction equals exactly; this converter uses π to 50 significant digits, far beyond the 12 digits shown. Definition: NIST SP 811 Appendix B.8, factors for units listed alphabetically.
- Seconds of Arc (″)
- Seconds of arc, a metric unit. Involves π, which no fraction equals exactly; this converter uses π to 50 significant digits, far beyond the 12 digits shown. Definition: BIPM SI Brochure, 9th edition (SI units, prefixes and units accepted for use with the SI).
