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

1
Rewrite kWh in the base unit
$1 kWh = 3, 600, 000 J$
2
Rewrite kcal in the base unit
$1 kcal = 4, 184 J$
3
Forward conversion
$1 kWh = \frac{3 , 600 , 000 J}{4 , 184 J} \times 1 kcal = \frac{3 , 600 , 000}{4 , 184} kcal = 860.420650096 kcal$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 kcal = \frac{4 , 184 J}{3 , 600 , 000 J} \times 1 kWh = \frac{4 , 184}{3 , 600 , 000} kWh = 0.001162222222 kWh$
