  1. 1 kW = 1000000000 µW
  2. 1 × 1000000000 = 1000000000 µW

How to convert kilowatts to microwatts

1 kW = 1,000,000,000 µW, so multiply by 1,000,000,000 to go from kilowatts to microwatts. Going the other way, 1 µW = 1 × 10⁻⁹ kW.

µW = kW × 1,000,000,000
kW = µW × 1

Worked example:

1 kW = 1000000000 µW
5 × 1000000000 = 5000000000 µW
