Megajoules to Kilojoules Conversion
Enter the energy in megajoules below to get the value converted to kilojoules.
How to Convert Megajoules to Kilojoules
To convert a megajoule measurement to a kilojoule measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio.
Since one megajoule is equal to 1,000 kilojoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in kilojoules is equal to the megajoules multiplied by 1,000.
How Many Kilojoules are in a Megajoule?
There are 1,000 kilojoules in a megajoule, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MJ = 1,000 kJ
Megajoules and kilojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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.
