In this article I will show you how to convert 5 radians into gradians. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 5 rad to grad. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Radians to Gradians
A radian is greater than a gradian. I know that a rad is greater than a grad 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 5 radians into gradians, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for rad to grad is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 5 rad to grad by multiplying 63.662 by the number of radians we have, which is 5.
So, the answer to the question "what is 5 radians in gradians?" is 318.31 grad.

Best Conversion Unit for 5 rad
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 5 rad.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 5 rad is radians and the amount is 5 rad.
