British thermal unit to gigajoule converter (btu to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 btu = 1.06e-6 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 btu = (1.06k J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 1.06e-6 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in btu by 1.06e-6 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 btu to gj:

5 btu × 1.06e-6 = 5.28e-6 gj
