Erg to gigajoule converter (erg to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 1.00e-16 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 1.00e-16 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 1.00e-16 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to gj:

5 erg × 1.00e-16 = 5.00e-16 gj
