Kilowatt-hour to gigawatt-hour converter (kwh to gwh)

Conversion Formula

1 kwh = 1.00e-6 gwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilowatt-hour = 3.60M joules
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kwh = (3.60M J) / (3.60T J/gwh) = 1.00e-6 gwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kwh by 1.00e-6 to get the equivalent in gwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kwh to gwh:

5 kwh × 1.00e-6 = 5.00e-6 gwh
