Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (becquerel (Bq)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 GBq = 1 × 10⁹ becquerel (Bq)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 mCi = 3.7 × 10⁷ becquerel (Bq)
Step-by-step substitution for Gigabecquerel → Millicurie:V(mCi) = V(GBq) × ( 1 × 10⁹ / 3.7 × 10⁷ ) = V(GBq) × 27.027027
Mathematical FormulaValue in Millicurie = Value in Gigabecquerel × 27.02702703Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 36 GBq, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 972.972973 mCi. At larger operational scale, 10000 Gigabecquerel corresponds to 270270.27027 mCi.

Inverse check: 1 mCi = 0.037 GBq.
