Yes. Giga means billion (thousand million), while kilo means thousand.
The correct term is kilowatt-hour, or some multiple of that. One plant that I worked at could net 800 megawatts, so that would be about 576 gigawatt-hours, in a 30 day month. Some plants are larger. I know of some 1,200 megawatt plants, and that would be scaled accordingly, as 864 gigawatt-hours, both assuming continuous operation at full power. Scaled to the units requested in the original question, that 800 megawatt plant would be 800,000 kilowatt-months, and the 1,200 megawatt plant would be 1,200,000 kilowatt-months.
To determine if a 17.4 gigawatt plant can power homes using 319,636,928 kilowatt hours, you would need to convert the plant's power output from gigawatts to kilowatts. 17.4 gigawatts is equivalent to 17,400,000 kilowatts. Therefore, the plant's power output is sufficient to power homes using 319,636,928 kilowatt hours.
Watts is smaller than kilowatts. watts is unit of power and kilowatts hour is unit of energy. Electrical devices are specified in watts where as electrical bill is for kilowatt hr use.
The short form for kilowatt is kW.
8500 BTU is equivalent to 2.49 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
The next category higher than megawatt-hours is gigawatt-hours.
Divide the kWh by 1 million
No, one horsepower is not greater than one kilowatt. One horsepower is approximately equal to 0.7457 kilowatts. Therefore, one kilowatt is greater than one horsepower by about 33%.
To convert gigawatts (GW) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to multiply the gigawatts by the number of hours. Since 1 GW is equal to 1,000,000 kW and 1 kWh is equal to 1 kW used for 1 hour, you would multiply the GW by 1,000,000 to get the equivalent value in kWh.
One million. A milliwatt is one one thousandth of a watt, a kilowatt is one thousand watts.. 1 000 milliwatts in a watt, 1 000 watts in a kilowatt. 1 000 times 1 000 equals 1 000 000
50 gigawatts = 50 million kilowatts 50 gigawatt-hours = 50 million kilowatt-hours
a kilowatt is 1000 watts a megawatt is 1000000 watts a gigawatt is 1000000000 watts a terrawatt is 1000000000000 or a million million watts
The symbol for gigawatt is GW.
The SI unit for power is the watt. Commonly, either the watt or some multiple or submultiple is used for power, for example kilowatt, megawatt, gigawatt, milliwatt, etc.

Yes, you can subtract a megawatt from a gigawatt because they are both units of power but differ by a factor of 1000. One gigawatt is equivalent to 1000 megawatts, so subtracting one megawatt from a gigawatt leaves you with 999 megawatts.
