How to Convert Kilogram-Force to Meganewtons
To convert a measurement in kilogram-force to a measurement in meganewtons, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 9.8067E-6 meganewtons/kilogram-force.
Since one kilogram-force is equal to 9.8067E-6 meganewtons, you can use this simple formula to convert:
meganewtons = kilogram-force × 9.8067E-6
The force in meganewtons is equal to the force in kilogram-force multiplied by 9.8067E-6.
For example, here's how to convert 500,000 kilogram-force to meganewtons using the formula above.
meganewtons = (500,000 kgf × 9.8067E-6) = 4.903325 MN
Kilogram-force and meganewtons are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is Kilogram-Force?
Kilogram-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared.
The kilogram-force is a non-SI metric unit for force. Kilogram-force is sometimes also referred to as a kilopond. Kilogram-force can be abbreviated as kgf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kgF. For example, 1 kilogram-force can be written as 1 kgf or 1 kgF.
Kilogram-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 kgf = 9.80665 kgm / s2

What Is a Meganewton?
One meganewton is equal to 1,000,000 newtons, which are equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
The meganewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Meganewtons can be abbreviated as MN; for example, 1 meganewton can be written as 1 MN.
