Convert Nanoseconds to Seconds

Nanoseconds → Seconds
ns × 0.000000001 = s s × 1000000000 = ns

To convert nanoseconds (ns) to seconds (s), multiply the nanoseconds value by 0.000000001. 1 ns = 0.000000001 s, and 1 s = 1000000000 ns. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert s to ns.
