How to convert milliwatts to megawatts
There are 1,00,00,00,000 milliwatts in one megawatt, so divide the number of milliwatts by 1,00,00,00,000.
MW = mW ÷ 1,00,00,00,000
1 mW = 1 × 10⁻⁹ MW · 1 MW = 1,00,00,00,000 mW
Worked example
To convert 5 milliwatts to megawatts: 5 mW ÷ 1,00,00,00,000 = 5 × 10⁻⁹ MW.
About milliwatts (mW)
