Gigajoule to Megajoule Conversion Formula

To convert from Gigajoule (GJ) to Megajoule (MJ), use the following formula:

 Megajoule (MJ)\textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}

=109×1106× Gigajoule (GJ)= 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}

=1000× Gigajoule (GJ)= 1000\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigajoule (GJ) to Megajoule (MJ).

Using the formula:

5×1000=50005 \times 1000 = 5000

Therefore, 5 Gigajoule (GJ) is equal to 50005000 Megajoule (MJ).

What is a Gigajoule (GJ)?
