How to Convert Gigawatts to Milliwatts
To convert gigawatts to milliwatts, multiply the value by 1e+12.
The Formula
Milliwatts = Gigawatts × 1e+12
Key Fact
1 gigawatt = 1e+12 milliwatts
Tip: To convert milliwatts back to gigawatts, divide by 1e+12.
Gigawatts to Milliwatts
Convert gigawatts (GW) to milliwatts (mW) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
GW
mW
1 GW = 1e+12 mW
Full precision:1e+12 mW
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 gigawatts to milliwatts, we multiply by 1e+12 because one gigawatt equals exactly 1e+12 milliwatts.
1 gigawatt = 1e+12 milliwatts
Since each gigawatt contains 1e+12 milliwatts, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1e+12 = 1e+12 milliwatts
So 1 gigawatts = 1e+12 milliwatts.
Quick check: 1e+12 ÷ 1e+12 = 1 gigawatts
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 GW = 1e+12 mW
1 × 1e+12 = 1e+12
1 × 1e+12 = 1e+12
Example 2: 5 GW = 5e+12 mW
5 × 1e+12 = 5e+12
5 × 1e+12 = 5e+12
Example 3: 10 GW = 1e+13 mW
10 × 1e+12 = 1e+13
10 × 1e+12 = 1e+13
