Gigajoule to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

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

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

=109×14.184×11000× Gigajoule (GJ)= 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{4.184} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}

=106×14.184× Gigajoule (GJ)= 10^{6} \times \frac{1}{4.184}\times \textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}

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

With 14.184\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:

5×239005.73613766730402=1195028.68068833652015 \times 239005.73613766730402 = 1195028.6806883365201

Therefore, 5 Gigajoule (GJ) is equal to 1195028.68068833652011195028.6806883365201 Kilocalorie (kcal).
