In this article I will show you how to convert 398 gradians into radians. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 398 grad to rad. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Gradians to Radians
A gradian is smaller than a radian. I know that a grad is smaller than a rad because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 398 gradians into radians, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for grad to rad is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 398 grad to rad by multiplying 0.015707957651346
by the number of gradians we have, which is 398.
So, the answer to the question "what is 398 gradians in radians?" is 6.2517671452358 rad.
