Full precision:3600000 J

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kilowatt-hours to joules, we multiply by 3600000 because one kilowatt-hour equals exactly 3600000 joules.

1 kilowatt-hour = 3600000 joules

Since each kilowatt-hour contains 3600000 joules, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 3600000 = 3600000 joules

So 1 kilowatt-hours = 3600000 joules.

✓Quick check: 3600000 ÷ 3600000 = 1 kilowatt-hours

How to Convert Kilowatt-hours to Joules

To convert kilowatt-hours to joules, multiply the value by 3600000.

Joules = Kilowatt-hours × 3600000

1 kilowatt-hour = 3600000 joules

Tip: To convert joules back to kilowatt-hours, divide by 3600000.

Example 1: 1 kWh = 3600000 J
1 × 3600000 = 3600000

Example 2: 5 kWh = 18000000 J
5 × 3600000 = 18000000

Example 3: 10 kWh = 36000000 J
10 × 3600000 = 36000000
