a gon is a grad is a gradian.

there are 400 gradians to a circle.

there are 360 degrees to a circle.

let g = gon = gradian

let d = degree

your conversion formulas are:

g = d/.9

d = g*.9

if g = 400, then d = 400*.9 = 360 degrees

if d = 360, then g = 360/.9 = 400 gradians

you have g = 60 gradians

d = g*.9 = 60*.9 = 54 degrees

60 gradians goes into 400 (6 and 2/3) times.

54 degrees goes into 360 (6 and 2/3) times.

60 gradians is equivalent to 54 degrees.
