Joule to gigajoule converter (j to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 j = 1.00e-9 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Joule = 1.000 joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 j = (1.000 J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 1.00e-9 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in j by 1.00e-9 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 j to gj:

5 j × 1.00e-9 = 5.00e-9 gj
