1 erg = 2.3901e-11 kcal
Full precision:2.3901e-11 kcal
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 ergs to kilocalories, we divide by 4.184e+10 because one kilocalorie equals exactly 4.184e+10 ergs.
1 kilocalorie = 4.184e+10 ergs
Since there are 4.184e+10 ergs in every kilocalorie, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 2.3901e-11 kilocalories
So 1 ergs = 2.3901e-11 kilocalories.
Quick check: 2.3901e-11 × 4.184e+10 = 1 ergs
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 erg = 2.3901e-11 kcal
1 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 2.3901e-11
1 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 2.3901e-11
Example 2: 5 erg = 1.195e-10 kcal
5 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 1.195e-10
5 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 1.195e-10
Example 3: 10 erg = 2.3901e-10 kcal
10 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 2.3901e-10
10 ÷ 4.184e+10 = 2.3901e-10
