How the formula works
Both megajoule and nanojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in megajoules by 1.000000000e+15 to get nanojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a nanojoule value by 1.000000000e-15 to get back to megajoules.
Frequently asked questions
What is Megajoule (MJ)?
A megajoule (MJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 106 joules, using the SI mega prefix.
What is Nanojoule (nJ)?
A nanojoule (nJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-9 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI nano prefix.
How do I convert megajoules to nanojoules?
Multiply the megajoule value by 1.000000000e+15 to get the equivalent in nanojoules. For example, 5 MJ × 1.000000000e+15 = 5.000000e+15 nJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 1.000000000e+15 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert nanojoules back to megajoules?
Yes. Divide the nanojoule value by 1.000000000e+15, or multiply it by 1.000000000e-15, to get megajoules.
