What is a gram-force meter (gf*m)?

It is a unit of work or energy representing the work done by a constant force of one gram-force acting through a distance of one meter, based on standard gravity.

When is kiloelectron-volt (keV) used?

KeV is commonly used in atomic, nuclear, and radiation physics to express energies of particles and photons at the atomic scale.

Why are conversion numbers so large between gf*m and keV?

Because gram-force meter measures mechanical work while keV measures atomic-scale energy, the difference in scale leads to very large numerical conversion factors.
