Gram Atomic mass is just the atomic mass expressed in grams ...ie, atomic mass with gram as units. One more information about it gram atomic mass and gram atom are the same thing. Later a formula is given that: Gram atom = mass in grams / Atomic mass [RAM]. There are questions also that use this formula in which we have to find the number of "gram atoms " in a given mass of substance. So what is the real meaning of gram atom and the formula?

1gram atom of oxygen contain 16g atomic mass. -> if given mass of oxygen is 16g. Then it is equal to 1gram atom of oxygen.
if given mass of oxygen is 32g. We have to find no. Of gram atom.
We already know gram atomic mass of oxygen is 16.
no. of gram atom = mass in gm / gram atomic mass = 32 /16 =2.
