Explanation

kilojoules and kilocalories 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 kilojoules = 0.2390057361 kilocalories, and 1 kilocalories = 4.184 kilojoules. Because one kilocalories represents a larger amount than one kilojoules, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert kilojoules to kilocalories

  1. Enter the value in kilojoules (kJ).
  2. Multiply it by 0.2390057361.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in kilocalories (kcal).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example
