How to Convert Megacalories to Kilojoules

Convert megacalories to kilojoules with this simple formula:

kilojoules = megacalories × 4,184

Converting a megacalorie energy measurement to a kilojoule measurement involves multiplying the energy by the conversion ratio to find the result. One megacalorie is equal to 4,184 kilojoules, so to convert simply multiply by 4,184.

For example, here's how to convert 5 megacalories to kilojoules using the formula above.

5 Mcal = (5 × 4,184) = 20,920 kJ
