Megacalories to Kilojoules Conversion
Enter the energy in megacalories below to get the value converted to kilojoules.
How to Convert Megacalories to Kilojoules
To convert a megacalorie measurement to a kilojoule measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio.
Since one megacalorie is equal to 4,184 kilojoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in kilojoules is equal to the megacalories multiplied by 4,184.
How Many Kilojoules are in a Megacalorie?
There are 4,184 kilojoules in a megacalorie, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 Mcal = 4,184 kJ
Megacalories and kilojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Megacalories
One megacalorie is equal to 1,000,000 calories, which are the heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius. One megacalorie is equal to 4.184 megajoules.
Megacalories can be abbreviated as Mcal; for example, 1 megacalorie can be written as 1 Mcal.
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.
