Milliwatt to Gigawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Milliwatt (mW) to Gigawatt (GW), use the following formula:

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

=11000×1109× Milliwatt (mW)= \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Milliwatt} \text{ (mW)}

=11012× Milliwatt (mW)= \frac{1}{10^{12}}\times \textbf{ Milliwatt} \text{ (mW)}

=10−12× Milliwatt (mW)= 10^{-12}\times \textbf{ Milliwatt} \text{ (mW)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Milliwatt (mW) to Gigawatt (GW).

Using the formula:

5×10−12=5×10−125 \times 10^{-12} = 5\times 10^{-12}

Therefore, 5 Milliwatt (mW) is equal to 5×10−125\times 10^{-12} Gigawatt (GW).

What is a Milliwatt (mW)?

A Milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a Watt (0.001 W). The plural form is Milliwatts.

What is a Gigawatt (GW)?

A Gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power in the metric system, equal to one billion Watts (109 W). The plural form is Gigawatts.

What is the metric system?

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used by nearly every country in the world. Its key feature is the use of prefixes to denote multiples and submultiples of the base units by powers of ten.
