Watts to Megawatts

Convert watts (W) to megawatts (MW) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Watts (W)

Megawatts (MW)

1 W = 1e-6 MW

Full precision:0.000001 MW

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 watts to megawatts, we divide by 1000000 because one megawatt equals exactly 1000000 watts.

1 megawatt = 1000000 watts

Since there are 1000000 watts in every megawatt, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6 megawatts

So 1 watts = 1e-6 megawatts.

✓Quick check: 1e-6 × 1000000 = 1 watts

How to Convert Watts to Megawatts

To convert watts to megawatts, divide the value by 1000000.

Megawatts = Watts ÷ 1000000

1 megawatt = 1000000 watts

Tip: To convert megawatts back to watts, multiply by 1000000.

Example 1: 1 W = 1e-6 MW
1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6

Example 2: 5 W = 5e-6 MW
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6

Example 3: 10 W = 1e-5 MW
10 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-5
