Joule to Gigajoule Conversion Formula

To convert from Joule (J) to Gigajoule (GJ), use the following formula:

 Gigajoule (GJ)\textbf{ Gigajoule } (GJ)

=1109× Joule (J)= \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Joule } (J)

=10−9× Joule (J)= 10^{-9}\times \textbf{ Joule } (J)

Example

Let's convert 5 Joule (J) to Gigajoule (GJ).

Using the formula:

5×10−9=5×10−95 \times 10^{-9} = 5\times 10^{-9}

Therefore, 5 Joule (J) is equal to 5×10−95\times 10^{-9} Gigajoule (GJ).
