Kilowatt-hour to gigajoule converter (kwh to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 kwh = 0.003600 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilowatt-hour = 3.60M joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kwh = (3.60M J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 0.003600 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kwh by 0.003600 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kwh to gj:

5 kwh × 0.003600 = 0.018000 gj
