Watt to Gigawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Watt (W) to Gigawatt (GW), use the following formula:

 Gigawatt (GW)\textbf{ Gigawatt } (GW)

=1109× Watt (W)= \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Watt } (W)

=10−9× Watt (W)= 10^{-9}\times \textbf{ Watt } (W)

Example

Let's convert 5 Watt (W) to Gigawatt (GW).

Using the formula:

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

Therefore, 5 Watt (W) is equal to 5×10−95\times 10^{-9} Gigawatt (GW).
