A US gill is a customary liquid volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid pint or four US fluid ounces, approximately 118.294 milliliters.

What is a picoliter used for?

A picoliter is a metric volume unit for measuring extremely small liquid volumes, commonly used in scientific fields like microfluidics and molecular biology.

Why might gill to picoliter conversions produce large numbers?

Because a picoliter measures a much smaller volume than a gill, converting results in very large numeric values.
