Full precision:0.001 kW

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 watts to kilowatts, we divide by 1000 because one kilowatt equals exactly 1000 watts.

1 kilowatt = 1000 watts

Since there are 1000 watts in every kilowatt, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kilowatts

✓Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 watts

How to Convert Watts to Kilowatts

To convert watts to kilowatts, divide the value by 1000.

Kilowatts = Watts ÷ 1000

1 kilowatt = 1000 watts

Tip: To convert kilowatts back to watts, multiply by 1000.

Example 1: 1 W = 0.001 kW
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001

Example 2: 5 W = 0.005 kW
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005

Example 3: 10 W = 0.01 kW
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
