Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

1 Kilowatt hour (kWh) = 3.6 Megajoule (MJ).

  • 1 kWh equals 3.6 MJ. Energy in kWh and power in kW are different quantities.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
