Ergs to Kilojoules

Convert ergs (erg) to kilojoules (kJ) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Ergs (erg)

erg

Kilojoules (kJ)

1 erg = 1e-10 kJ

Full precision:1e-10 kJ

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 ergs to kilojoules, we divide by 1e+10 because one kilojoule equals exactly 1e+10 ergs.

1 kilojoule = 1e+10 ergs

Since there are 1e+10 ergs in every kilojoule, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1e+10 = 1e-10 kilojoules

So 1 ergs = 1e-10 kilojoules.

✓Quick check: 1e-10 × 1e+10 = 1 ergs

How to Convert Ergs to Kilojoules

To convert ergs to kilojoules, divide the value by 1e+10.

Kilojoules = Ergs ÷ 1e+10

1 kilojoule = 1e+10 ergs

Tip: To convert kilojoules back to ergs, multiply by 1e+10.

Example 1: 1 erg = 1e-10 kJ
1 ÷ 1e+10 = 1e-10

Example 2: 5 erg = 5e-10 kJ
5 ÷ 1e+10 = 5e-10

Example 3: 10 erg = 1e-9 kJ
10 ÷ 1e+10 = 1e-9
