Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column. Convert this width from picas to Gigameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = Length(Pica) / 236220472440
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 12 / 236220472440
Length(Gigameters) = 5.08e-11
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 5.08e-11 Gm.
The length is 5.08e-11 Gm, in gigameters.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long. Convert this length from picas to Gigameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = Length(Pica) / 236220472440
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 6 / 236220472440
Length(Gigameters) = 2.54e-11
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 2.54e-11 Gm.
The length is 2.54e-11 Gm, in gigameters.

Pica
A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.
The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.
Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.
Gigameters
A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles.
The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.
Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.
