500 mW = 5e-10 GW
Full precision:5e-10 GW
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 500 milliwatts to gigawatts, we divide by 1e+12 because one gigawatt equals exactly 1e+12 milliwatts.

1 gigawatt = 1e+12 milliwatts

Since there are 1e+12 milliwatts in every gigawatt, we divide our value by this factor:

500 ÷ 1e+12 = 5e-10 gigawatts

So 500 milliwatts = 5e-10 gigawatts.

Quick check: 5e-10 × 1e+12 = 500 milliwatts
