In this article I will show you how to convert 874 gradians into radians. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 874 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 874 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 874 grad to rad by multiplying 0.015707957651346 by the number of gradians we have, which is 874.
So, the answer to the question "what is 874 gradians in radians?" is 13.728754987277 rad.
