Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 megajoules to ergs, we multiply by 1e+13 because one megajoule equals exactly 1e+13 ergs.
1 megajoule = 1e+13 ergs
Since each megajoule contains 1e+13 ergs, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1e+13 = 1e+13 ergs
So 1 megajoules = 1e+13 ergs.
Quick check: 1e+13 ÷ 1e+13 = 1 megajoules
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 MJ = 1e+13 erg
1 × 1e+13 = 1e+13
1 × 1e+13 = 1e+13
Example 2: 5 MJ = 5e+13 erg
5 × 1e+13 = 5e+13
5 × 1e+13 = 5e+13
Example 3: 10 MJ = 1e+14 erg
10 × 1e+13 = 1e+14
10 × 1e+13 = 1e+14
