Full precision:0.005 GW
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 5 megawatts to gigawatts, we divide by 1000 because one gigawatt equals exactly 1000 megawatts.

1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts

Since there are 1000 megawatts in every gigawatt, we divide our value by this factor:

5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005 gigawatts

So 5 megawatts = 0.005 gigawatts.

Quick check: 0.005 × 1000 = 5 megawatts
