Milliwatts to Megawatts

Convert milliwatts (mW) to megawatts (MW) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

mW
MW
1 mW = 1e-9 MW
Full precision:1e-9 MW
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 milliwatts to megawatts, we divide by 1000000000 because one megawatt equals exactly 1000000000 milliwatts.

1 megawatt = 1000000000 milliwatts

Since there are 1000000000 milliwatts in every megawatt, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000000000 = 1e-9 megawatts

So 1 milliwatts = 1e-9 megawatts.

Quick check: 1e-9 × 1000000000 = 1 milliwatts

How to Convert Milliwatts to Megawatts

To convert milliwatts to megawatts, divide the value by 1000000000.

The Formula

Megawatts = Milliwatts ÷ 1000000000

Key Fact

1 megawatt = 1000000000 milliwatts

Tip: To convert megawatts back to milliwatts, multiply by 1000000000.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 mW = 1e-9 MW
1 ÷ 1000000000 = 1e-9
Example 2: 5 mW = 5e-9 MW
5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9
Example 3: 10 mW = 1e-8 MW
10 ÷ 1000000000 = 1e-8
