Explanation

kilowatts and horsepower are units of power. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 kilowatts = 1.3410220896 horsepower, and 1 horsepower = 0.7456998716 kilowatts. Because one horsepower represents a smaller amount than one kilowatts, the numeric value gets larger in this direction.
