AWG
1 SWG = 18 AWG
Full precision:18 AWG
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 swg to awg, we multiply by 1 because one standard wire gauge equals exactly 1 awg.

1 standard wire gauge = 1 awg

Since each standard wire gauge contains 1 awg, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1 = 18 awg

So 1 swg = 18 awg.

Quick check: 18 ÷ 1 = 1 swg

How to Convert SWG to AWG

To convert swg to awg, multiply the value by 1.

The Formula

AWG = SWG × 1

Key Fact

1 standard wire gauge = 1 awg

Tip: To convert awg back to swg, divide by 1.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 SWG = 18 AWG
1 × 1 = 18
Example 2: 5 SWG = 10 AWG
5 × 1 = 10
Example 3: 10 SWG = 8 AWG
10 × 1 = 8
