What is a gram-force centimeter?

It is a non-SI energy unit representing work done by a force of one gram-force moving through one centimeter.

What does a megaton measure?

A megaton [Mton] is a non-SI energy unit commonly used to express the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT.

Why convert from gram-force centimeters to megatons?

To understand and compare very small amounts of mechanical energy against very large energies like nuclear explosions or asteroid impacts.
