Gigajoule to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

To convert from Gigajoule (GJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal), use the following formula:

$\textbf{ Kilocalorie} \text{ (kcal)}$

$= 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{4.184} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}$

$= 10^{6} \times \frac{1}{4.184}\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}$

$= 239005.73613766730402\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}$

With $\frac{1}{4.184}$ is the ratio between the base units calorie (cal) and Joule (J).

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigajoule (GJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 239005.73613766730402 = 1195028.6806883365201$
