Joule to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

To convert from Joule (J) to Kilocalorie (kcal), use the following formula:

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

=14.184×11000× Joule (J)= \frac{1}{4.184} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Joule} \text{ (J)}

=0.00023900573613766730402× Joule (J)= 0.00023900573613766730402\times \textbf{ Joule} \text{ (J)}

With 14.184\frac{1}{4.184} is the ratio between the base units calorie (cal) and Joule (J).

Example

Let's convert 5 Joule (J) to Kilocalorie (kcal).

Using the formula:

5×0.00023900573613766730402=0.00119502868068833652015 \times 0.00023900573613766730402 = 0.0011950286806883365201

Therefore, 5 Joule (J) is equal to 0.00119502868068833652010.0011950286806883365201 Kilocalorie (kcal).
