calorie to Megajoule Conversion Formula

To convert from calorie (cal) to Megajoule (MJ), use the following formula:

 Megajoule (MJ)\textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}

=4.184×1106× calorie (cal)= 4.184 \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ calorie} \text{ (cal)}

=0.000004184× calorie (cal)= 0.000004184\times \textbf{ calorie} \text{ (cal)}

With 4.1844.184 is the ratio between the base units Joule (J) and calorie (cal).

Example

Let's convert 5 calorie (cal) to Megajoule (MJ).

Using the formula:

5×0.000004184=0.000020925 \times 0.000004184 = 0.00002092

Therefore, 5 calorie (cal) is equal to 0.000020920.00002092 Megajoule (MJ).

What is a calorie (cal)?
