Gigajoule to British thermal unit converter (gj to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 gj = 947.81k btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gj = (1.00G J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 947.81k btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gj by 947.81k to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gj to btu:

5 gj × 947.81k = 4.74M btu
