Gigajoule to kilojoules Conversion
1 gigajoule (GJ) is equal to 1000000 kilojoules (kJ).
1 GJ = 1000000 kJ
or
1 kJ = 0.000001 GJ
Formula
To convert a energy from gigajoule (GJ) to kilojoules (kJ), multiply the energy in gigajoule by 1000000
e(kJ) = e(GJ) × 1000000
Examples:
Convert 1 gigajoule to kilojoules:
e(kJ) = 1GJ × 1000000 = 1000000 kJ

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert gigajoule to kilojoules?
Multiply the value in gigajoule by 1000000 to get the result in kilojoules. For example, 5 GJ × 1000000 = 5000000 kJ.
How many kilojoules are in 1 gigajoule?
1 gigajoule (GJ) is equal to 1000000 kilojoules (kJ).
How do I convert kilojoules back to gigajoule?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in kilojoules by 1000000 to get the result in gigajoule.
How accurate is the gigajoule to kilojoules conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
