Conversion Formula

1 mj = 1.00e-6 kj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megajoule = 0.001000 joules
   1 Kilojoule = 1.00k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mj = (0.001000 J) / (1.00k J/kj) = 1.00e-6 kj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mj by 1.00e-6 to get the equivalent in kj

Example Conversion
