Solution

Watt is a small unit of power, the larger units of power are,
$1 k i l o w a t t = 1000 w a t t$ or $1 k w = 1000 w$
$1 m e g a w a t t = 1000000 w a t t s$ or $1 M W = 10^{6} w$
Another unit of power is called horsepower (h.p) which is equal to a $746$ watt.
Thus, $1 h o r s e p o w e r = 746 w a t t$ or $1 h . p . = 746 W$
