Formula
To convert a specific energy from kilojoule per kilogram (kJ/kg) to kilocalorie per kilogram (kcal/kg), divide the specific energy in kilojoule per kilogram by 4.184
s(kcal/kg) = s(kJ/kg) / 4.184
Examples:
Convert 50 kilojoule per kilogram to kilocalorie per kilogram:
s(kcal/kg) = 50kJ/kg / 4.184 = 11.95028681 kcal/kg
