Gigajoule to megawatt-hour converter (gj to mwh)

Conversion Formula

1 gj = 0.277778 mwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gj = (1.00G J) / (3.60G J/mwh) = 0.277778 mwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gj by 0.277778 to get the equivalent in mwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gj to mwh:

5 gj × 0.277778 = 1.389 mwh
