Explanation

kilowatt-hours and joules 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 kilowatt-hours = 3600000 joules, and 1 joules = 2.77777778e-7 kilowatt-hours. Because one joules represents a smaller amount than one kilowatt-hours, the numeric value gets larger in this direction.

How to convert kilowatt-hours to joules

  1. Enter the value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  2. Multiply it by 3600000.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in joules (J).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

6424 × 3600000 = 2.31264000e+10 joules
