  1. 1 gf = 9.80665e-6 kN
  2. 1 × 9.80665e-6 = 9.80665e-6 kN

How to convert grams-force to kilonewtons

1 gf = 9.80665 × 10⁻⁶ kN, so multiply by 9.80665 to go from grams-force to kilonewtons. Going the other way, 1 kN = 101,971.621298 gf.

kN = gf × 9.80665
gf = kN × 101,971.621298

Worked example:

1 gf = 9.80665e-6 kN
5 × 9.80665e-6 = 4.903325e-5 kN
