Kilojoule to British thermal unit converter (kj to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 kj = 0.947813 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilojoule = 1.00k joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kj = (1.00k J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 0.947813 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kj by 0.947813 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kj to btu:

5 kj × 0.947813 = 4.739 btu
