Press Calculate after the entries are in.
What this energy conversion is for
Use this page when a measurement is written in kilocalories and the next step needs British thermal units. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.
The factor
Multiply by the factor: 1 kilocalorie = 3.96566683 British thermal units.
A worked example
10 kilocalories are 39.65666831 British thermal units. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.
How to check it
Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.
The reverse conversion is British thermal units to kilocalories. A nearby pair in the same units is kilowatt-hours to British thermal units. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the daily calorie needs.
