• 3

  Converting Gigajoules to Kilowatt-hours multiplies by 277.77778; the reverse direction divides by the same figure, so confirm the direction label before copying the result — near-one factors hide a swapped direction from a casual glance.

• Round-trip check: convert your gigajoules figure to kilowatt-hours, then convert back with the reverse tool — landing on the original number confirms both direction and factor. Skipping this check is how a flipped ratio survives into reports and homework.
