Megajoule to gigajoule converter (mj to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 mj = 1.00e-12 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megajoule = 0.001000 joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mj = (0.001000 J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 1.00e-12 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mj by 1.00e-12 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mj to gj:

5 mj × 1.00e-12 = 5.00e-12 gj
