Watt to Kilowatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Watt (W) to Kilowatt (kW), use the following formula:

 Kilowatt (kW)\textbf{ Kilowatt} \text{ (kW)}

=11000× Watt (W)= \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Watt} \text{ (W)}

=0.001× Watt (W)= 0.001\times \textbf{ Watt} \text{ (W)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Watt (W) to Kilowatt (kW).

Using the formula:

5×0.001=0.0055 \times 0.001 = 0.005

Therefore, 5 Watt (W) is equal to 0.0050.005 Kilowatt (kW).
