Gigajoules to Kilojoules Conversion
Enter the energy in gigajoules below to get the value converted to kilojoules.
How to Convert Gigajoules to Kilojoules
To convert a gigajoule measurement to a kilojoule measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio. One gigajoule is equal to 1,000,000 kilojoules, so use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in kilojoules is equal to the gigajoules multiplied by 1,000,000.
Gigajoules and kilojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Gigajoules
One gigajoule is equal to 1,000,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The gigajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for 109. Gigajoules can be abbreviated as GJ; for example, 1 gigajoule can be written as 1 GJ.
Kilojoules
One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The kilojoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilojoules can be abbreviated as kJ; for example, 1 kilojoule can be written as 1 kJ.
