Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between milliwatts and gigawatts.
What is a milliwatt (mW)?
A milliwatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for milliwatt is mW. There are 1,000,000,000,000 milliwatts in a gigawatt.
What is a gigawatt (GW)?
A gigawatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for gigawatt is GW. There are 0.000000000001 gigawatts in a milliwatt.
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 milliwatts to gigawatts is:
gigawatts = milliwatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from milliwatts to gigawatts (mW to GW).
Milliwatt to Gigawatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 45,000,000,000 milliwatts to gigawatts (show work) Formula: milliwatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000 = gigawatts Calculations: 45,000,000,000 milliwatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.045 gigawatts Result: 45,000,000,000 milliwatts is equal to 0.045 gigawatts
