Conversion Formula

1 mwh = 860.42k kcal

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
   1 Kilocalorie = 4.18k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mwh = (3.60G J) / (4.18k J/kcal) = 860.42k kcal
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mwh by 860.42k to get the equivalent in kcal

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mwh to kcal:

5 mwh × 860.42k = 4.30M kcal
