Gigajoule to kilojoule converter (gj to kj)

Conversion Formula

1 gj = 1.00M kj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
   1 Kilojoule = 1.00k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gj = (1.00G J) / (1.00k J/kj) = 1.00M kj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gj by 1.00M to get the equivalent in kj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gj to kj:

5 gj × 1.00M = 5.00M kj
