Megajoule to gigajoule Conversion
1 megajoule (MJ) is equal to 0.001 gigajoule (GJ).
1 MJ = 0.001 GJ
or
1 GJ = 1000 MJ
Formula
To convert a energy from megajoule (MJ) to gigajoule (GJ), divide the energy in megajoule by 1000
e(GJ) = e(MJ) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 100 megajoule to gigajoule:
e(GJ) = 100MJ / 1000 = 0.1 GJ

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert megajoule to gigajoule?
Divide the value in megajoule by 1000 to get the result in gigajoule. For example, 5 MJ ÷ 1000 = 0.005 GJ.
How many gigajoule are in 1 megajoule?
1 megajoule (MJ) is equal to 0.001 gigajoule (GJ).
How do I convert gigajoule back to megajoule?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in gigajoule by 1000 to get the result in megajoule.
How accurate is the megajoule to gigajoule conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
