Watt to Megawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Watt (W) to Megawatt (MW), use the following formula:

 Megawatt (MW)\textbf{ Megawatt} \text{ (MW)}

=1106× Watt (W)= \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Watt} \text{ (W)}

=10−6× Watt (W)= 10^{-6}\times \textbf{ Watt} \text{ (W)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Watt (W) to Megawatt (MW).

Using the formula:

5×10−6=0.0000055 \times 10^{-6} = 0.000005

Therefore, 5 Watt (W) is equal to 0.0000050.000005 Megawatt (MW).
