How this is calculated

Result = value × (radians per 'from' unit) ÷ (radians per 'to' unit)

180°
π radians = 200 gradians = half a turn

A full circle is 360 degrees, 2π radians, 400 gradians or 6,400 NATO mils. Radians are the natural unit in mathematics: an angle of one radian cuts off an arc as long as the radius.
