Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from microwatts to milliwatts is:
milliwatts = microwatts ÷ 1,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from microwatts to milliwatts (μW to mW).
Microwatt to Milliwatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 45,000 microwatts to milliwatts (show work) Formula: microwatts ÷ 1,000 = milliwatts Calculations: 45,000 microwatts ÷ 1,000 = 45 milliwatts Result: 45,000 microwatts is equal to 45 milliwatts
