This tool will instantly convert values from milliwatts (mW) to gigawatts (GW) for you.
How to Use the MW to GW Calculator
To use the calculator, simply input the value in Megawatts (MW) that you wish to convert into Gigawatts (GW) in the provided field, then click the “Calculate” button. The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator takes the input value in Megawatts and divides it by 1,000 to convert it into Gigawatts. This is because 1 Gigawatt (GW) is equivalent to 1,000 Megawatts (MW). The formula used is:
GW = MW รท 1,000
Limitations
Please note that this calculator assumes the input is a non-negative numerical value representing Megawatts. It does not account for invalid inputs such as negative numbers or non-numeric values. Additionally, the precision is determined by the input value’s precision since it uses JavaScript’s built-in mathematical functions.
