Kilocalorie to megaton of TNT converter (kcal to mttnt)

Conversion Formula

1 kcal = 1.00e-12 mttnt

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilocalorie = 4.18k joules
   1 Megaton of TNT = 4.18P joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kcal = (4.18k J) / (4.18P J/mttnt) = 1.00e-12 mttnt
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kcal by 1.00e-12 to get the equivalent in mttnt

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kcal to mttnt:

5 kcal × 1.00e-12 = 5.00e-12 mttnt
