How the formula works
Both megavolt and gigavolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in megavolts by 0.001 to get gigavolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a gigavolt value by 1000 to get back to megavolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Megavolt (MV)?
A Megavolt (MV) equals 1e+6 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for mega-scale electrical work.
What is Gigavolt (GV)?
A Gigavolt (GV) equals 1e+9 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for giga-scale electrical work.
How do I convert megavolts to gigavolts?
Multiply the megavolt value by 0.001 to get the equivalent in gigavolts. For example, 5 MV × 0.001 = 0.005 GV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert gigavolts back to megavolts?
Yes. Divide the gigavolt value by 0.001, or multiply it by 1000, to get megavolts.
