How the conversion works
Multiply by 0.004184 to go from calorie to kilojoule, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (J) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.
Going the other way? kilojoule to calorie — 1 kJ = 239.0057361 cal.
