Milliwatts to megawatts Conversion
1 milliwatts (mW) is equal to 0.000000001 megawatts (MW).
1 mW = 0.000000001 MW
or
1 MW = 1000000000 mW
Formula
To convert a power from milliwatts (mW) to megawatts (MW), divide the power in milliwatts by 1000000000
p(MW) = p(mW) / 1000000000
Examples:
Convert 1000 milliwatts to megawatts:
p(MW) = 1000mW / 1000000000 = 0.000001 MW

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert milliwatts to megawatts?
Divide the value in milliwatts by 1000000000 to get the result in megawatts. For example, 5 mW ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9 MW.
How many megawatts are in 1 milliwatts?
1 milliwatts (mW) is equal to 1e-9 megawatts (MW).
How do I convert megawatts back to milliwatts?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in megawatts by 1000000000 to get the result in milliwatts.
How accurate is the milliwatts to megawatts conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000000000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
