Explanation

British thermal units and megajoules are units of energy. 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 British thermal units = 0.001055056 megajoules, and 1 megajoules = 947.8169879134 British thermal units. Because one megajoules represents a larger amount than one British thermal units, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert British thermal units to megajoules

  1. Enter the value in British thermal units (BTU).
  2. Multiply it by 0.001055056.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in megajoules (MJ).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

5156 × 0.001055056 = 5.43986874 megajoules
