Megajoule to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

To convert from Megajoule (MJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal), use the following formula:

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

$= 10^{6} \times \frac{1}{4.184} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}$

$= 1000 \times \frac{1}{4.184}\times \textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}$

$= 239.00573613766730402\times \textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}$

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

Example

Let's convert 5 Megajoule (MJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 239.00573613766730402 = 1195.0286806883365201$

Therefore, 5 Megajoule (MJ) is equal to $1195.0286806883365201$ Kilocalorie (kcal).
