Convert Watt to Gigawatt
Unit definitions
Watt
The watt is the SI unit of power. It is defined as one joule per second ($1\ \text{W} = 1\ \text{J/s}$).
Gigawatt
$10^{9}$ watts is a gigawatt.
How to convert Watt to Gigawatt
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{\text{Power}_{\text{W}}}{{10}^{9}}$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $45.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{45.0}{{10}^{9}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000000045$$
$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{W} = 0.000000045 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 2
Convert $60.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{60.0}{{10}^{9}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.00000006$$
$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{W} = 0.00000006 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 3
Convert $115.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{115.0}{{10}^{9}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000000115$$
$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{W} = 0.000000115 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 4
Convert $145.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{145.0}{{10}^{9}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000000145$$
$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{W} = 0.000000145 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 5
Convert $165.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{165.0}{{10}^{9}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000000165$$
$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{W} = 0.000000165 \ \text{GW}$$
