How to convert british thermal units to gigajoules

1 Btu = 1.05505585262 × 10⁻⁶ GJ, so multiply by 1.05505585262 to go from British thermal units (IT) to gigajoules. Going the other way, 1 GJ = 947,817.120313 Btu.

GJ = Btu × 1.05505585262
Btu = GJ × 947,817.120313

Worked example:

1 Btu = 1.05505585262e-6 GJ
5 × 1.05505585262e-6 = 5.2752792631e-6 GJ
