cal to MJ Converter - Calorie to Megajoule

Calorie (cal) to Megajoule (MJ)

Direct answer

1 cal = 0.000004184 MJ

MJ = cal × 0.000004184

Converter

Input

cal

Result

0.000004184MJ

MJ = cal × 0.000004184

cal = MJ × 239,005.736138

Example: 10 cal = 10 × 0.000004184 = 0.00004184 MJ.

Express both cal and MJ in the same base unit J (joule), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite cal in the base unit
$1 cal = 4.184 J$
2
Rewrite MJ in the base unit
$1 MJ = 1, 000, 000 J$
3
Forward conversion
$1 cal = \frac{4.184 J}{1 , 000 , 000 J} \times 1 MJ = \frac{4.184}{1 , 000 , 000} MJ = 0.000004184 MJ$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 MJ = \frac{1 , 000 , 000 J}{4.184 J} \times 1 cal = \frac{1 , 000 , 000}{4.184} cal = 239, 005.736138 cal$
