How the formula works
Both nanowatt and megawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in nanowatts by 1.000000e-15 to get megawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a megawatt value by 1.000000e+15 to get back to nanowatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nanowatt (nW)?
A Nanowatt (nW) equals 1e-09 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for nano-scale electrical work.
What is Megawatt (MW)?
A Megawatt (MW) equals 1e+6 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for mega-scale electrical work.
How do I convert nanowatts to megawatts?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1.000000e-15 to get the equivalent in megawatts. For example, 5 nW × 1.000000e-15 = 5.000000e-15 MW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-15 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert megawatts back to nanowatts?
Yes. Divide the megawatt value by 1.000000e-15, or multiply it by 1.000000e+15, to get nanowatts.
