To convert a measurement in kiloelectronvolts to a measurement in gigajoules, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 1.6022E-25 gigajoules/kiloelectronvolt.

Since one kiloelectronvolt is equal to 1.6022E-25 gigajoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gigajoules = kiloelectronvolts × 1.6022E-25

The energy in gigajoules is equal to the energy in kiloelectronvolts multiplied by 1.6022E-25.

For example, here's how to convert 5.0E+24 kiloelectronvolts to gigajoules using the formula above.
gigajoules = (5.0E+24 keV × 1.6022E-25) = 0.801088 GJ

Kiloelectronvolts and gigajoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Kiloelectronvolt?

Kiloelectronvolts can be abbreviated as keV; for example, 1 kiloelectronvolt can be written as 1 keV.

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.
