- Microfarad (μF) 1μF = 1/1,000,000 = 0.000001 = 10-6 F
- Nanofarad (nF) 1nF = 1/1,000,000,000 = 0.000000001 = 10-9 F
- Picofarad (pF) 1pF = 1/1,000,000,000,000 = 0.000000000001 = 10-12 F
Then using the information above we can construct a simple table to help us convert between pico-Farad (pF), to nano-Farad (nF), to micro-Farad (μF) and to Farads (F) as shown.
| Pico-Farad (pF) | Nano-Farad (nF) | Micro-Farad (μF) | Farads (F) |
| 1,000 | 1.0 | 0.001 | |
| 10,000 | 10.0 | 0.01 | |
| 1,000,000 | 1,000 | 1.0 | |
| 10,000 | 10.0 | ||
| 100,000 | 100 | ||
| 1,000,000 | 1,000 | 0.001 | |
| 10,000 | 0.01 | ||
| 100,000 | 0.1 | ||
| 1,000,000 | 1.0 |
