Megajoule to British thermal unit converter (mj to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 mj = 9.48e-7 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megajoule = 0.001000 joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mj = (0.001000 J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 9.48e-7 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mj by 9.48e-7 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mj to btu:

5 mj × 9.48e-7 = 4.74e-6 btu
