In this article I will show you how to convert 66 gradians into degrees. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 66 grad to deg. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Gradians to Degrees
A gradian is smaller than a degree. I know that a grad is smaller than a deg 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 66 gradians into degrees, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for grad to deg is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 66 grad to deg by multiplying 0.9
by the number of gradians we have, which is 66.
So, the answer to the question "what is 66 gradians in degrees?" is 59.4 deg.
