Kilojoules to kilocalories conversion
Kilojoules to kilocalories conversion is the process of converting energy values from kilojoules (kJ) to kilocalories (kcal). To convert kilojoules to kilocalories, you need to divide the value in kilojoules by the conversion factor 4.184.
What is Kilojoules to kilocalories conversion
To convert kilojoules (kJ) to kilocalories (kcal), you can use the conversion factor of 0.239006.
Kilocalories = kJ * 0.239006
For example, let's convert 10 kilojoules to kilocalories:
Kilocalories = 10 kJ * 0.239006 Kilocalories ≈ 2.39006 kcal
Therefore, 10 kilojoules is approximately equal to 2.39006 kilocalories.
How to convert from kilojoules to kcal
Kilojoules to thermochemical / food kilocalories
1 kcalth = 4.184 kJ
The energy in kilocalories E(kcal-th) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) divided by 4.184:
E(kcal) = E(kJ) / 4.184
Example
Convert 5 kilojoules to kilocalories.
E(kcal) = 5 kJ / 4.184 = 1.195 kcal
Kilojoules to international kilocalories
1 kcalIT = 4.1868 kJ
The energy in international kilocalories E(kcal-IT) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) divided by 4.1868:
E(kcal-IT) = E(kJ) / 4.1868
Example
Convert 5 kilojoules to kilocalories.
E(kcal-IT) = 5 kJ / 4.1868 = 1.194 kcalIT
Kilojoules to 15°C kilocalories
1 kcal15 = 4.1855 kJ
The energy in 15°C kilocalories E(kcal15) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) divided by 4.1855:
E(kcal15) = E(kJ) / 4.1855
Example
Convert 5 kilojoules to kilocalories.
E(kcal15) = 5 kJ / 4.1855 = 1.195 kcal15
Kilojoules to 20°C kilocalories
1 kcal20 = 4.182 kJ
The energy in 20°C kilocalories E(kcal20) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) divided by 4.182:
E(kcal20) = E(kJ) / 4.182
Example
Convert 5 kilojoules to kilocalories.
E(kcal20) = 5 kJ / 4.182 = 1.196 kcal20
