How to convert ergs to megajoules
There are 1,00,00,00,00,00,000 ergs in one megajoule, so divide the number of ergs by 1,00,00,00,00,00,000.
MJ = erg ÷ 1,00,00,00,00,00,000
1 erg = 1 × 10⁻¹³ MJ · 1 MJ = 1,00,00,00,00,00,000 erg
Worked example
To convert 5 ergs to megajoules: 5 erg ÷ 1,00,00,00,00,00,000 = 5 × 10⁻¹³ MJ.
