How to Convert Kilocalories to Gigajoules
To convert a measurement in kilocalories to a measurement in gigajoules, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 4.184E-6 gigajoules/kilocalorie.
Since one kilocalorie is equal to 4.184E-6 gigajoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
gigajoules = kilocalories × 4.184E-6
The energy in gigajoules is equal to the energy in kilocalories multiplied by 4.184E-6.
Kilocalories and gigajoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilocalorie?
One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.
Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.
When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.

What Is a Gigajoule?
One gigajoule is equal to 1,000,000,000 joules, which is the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The gigajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigajoules can be abbreviated as GJ; for example, 1 gigajoule can be written as 1 GJ.
