Kilojoules to Megajoules Conversion
Enter the energy in kilojoules below to get the value converted to megajoules.
How to Convert Kilojoules to Megajoules
To convert a kilojoule measurement to a megajoule measurement, divide the energy by the conversion ratio. One megajoule is equal to 1,000 kilojoules, so use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in megajoules is equal to the kilojoules divided by 1,000.
Kilojoules and megajoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Kilojoules
One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The kilojoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilojoules can be abbreviated as kJ; for example, 1 kilojoule can be written as 1 kJ.
Megajoules
One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ; for example, 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.
