Enter the energy in megajoules below to get the value converted to gigajoules.
How to Convert Megajoules to Gigajoules
To convert a megajoule measurement to a gigajoule measurement, divide the energy by the conversion ratio.
Since one gigajoule is equal to 1,000 megajoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in gigajoules is equal to the megajoules divided by 1,000.
Megajoules and gigajoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Megajoules
One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ; for example, 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.
Gigajoules
