1 MW = 1000 kW
Full precision:1000 kW
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 megawatts to kilowatts, we multiply by 1000 because one megawatt equals exactly 1000 kilowatts.
1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatts
Since each megawatt contains 1000 kilowatts, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1000 = 1000 kilowatts
So 1 megawatts = 1000 kilowatts.
Quick check: 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 megawatts
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 MW = 1000 kW
1 × 1000 = 1000
1 × 1000 = 1000
Example 2: 5 MW = 5000 kW
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 × 1000 = 5000
Example 3: 10 MW = 10000 kW
10 × 1000 = 10000
10 × 1000 = 10000
