Milliwatt to Megawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Milliwatt (mW) to Megawatt (MW), use the following formula:

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

=11000×1106× Milliwatt (mW)= \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Milliwatt } (mW)

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

=10−9× Milliwatt (mW)= 10^{-9}\times \textbf{ Milliwatt } (mW)

Example

Let's convert 5 Milliwatt (mW) to Megawatt (MW).

Using the formula:

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

Therefore, 5 Milliwatt (mW) is equal to 5×10−95\times 10^{-9} Megawatt (MW).
