Erg to megajoule converter (erg to mj)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 1.00e-4 mj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Megajoule = 0.001000 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (0.001000 J/mj) = 1.00e-4 mj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 1.00e-4 to get the equivalent in mj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to mj:

5 erg × 1.00e-4 = 5.00e-4 mj
