Kilojoule to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilojoule (kJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal), use the following formula:

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

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

=14.184× Kilojoule (kJ)= \frac{1}{4.184}\times \textbf{ Kilojoule} \text{ (kJ)}

=0.23900573613766730402× Kilojoule (kJ)= 0.23900573613766730402\times \textbf{ Kilojoule} \text{ (kJ)}

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

Example

Let's convert 5 Kilojoule (kJ) to Kilocalorie (kcal).

Using the formula:

5×0.23900573613766730402=1.19502868068833652015 \times 0.23900573613766730402 = 1.1950286806883365201

Therefore, 5 Kilojoule (kJ) is equal to 1.19502868068833652011.1950286806883365201 Kilocalorie (kcal).

What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?
