Full precision:1e+10 erg
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 kilojoules to ergs, we multiply by 1e+10 because one kilojoule equals exactly 1e+10 ergs.
1 kilojoule = 1e+10 ergs
Since each kilojoule contains 1e+10 ergs, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1e+10 = 1e+10 ergs
So 1 kilojoules = 1e+10 ergs.
Quick check: 1e+10 ÷ 1e+10 = 1 kilojoules
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 kJ = 1e+10 erg
1 × 1e+10 = 1e+10
1 × 1e+10 = 1e+10
Example 2: 5 kJ = 5e+10 erg
5 × 1e+10 = 5e+10
5 × 1e+10 = 5e+10
Example 3: 10 kJ = 1e+11 erg
10 × 1e+10 = 1e+11
10 × 1e+10 = 1e+11
