How many microfarads are 1,000,000 picofarads?

To determine how many microfarads are in 1,000,000 picofarads, it's important to understand the relationships between these units of capacitance.

1 microfarad (µF) is equal to 1,000,000 picofarads (pF), since there are 1,000 picofarads in a nanofarad (nF) and 1,000 nanofarads in a microfarad. Therefore, to convert picofarads to microfarads, you can divide the number of picofarads by 1,000,000.

So, when you take 1,000,000 picofarads and convert it, you have:

1,000,000 pF ÷ 1,000,000 = 1 µF.

This shows that 1,000,000 picofarads is indeed equal to 1 microfarad. Understanding the metric prefixes—where "pico" denotes 10^-12 and "micro" denotes 10^-6—further clarifies how these conversions work within the metric system.
