Kilojoules to Megajoules Converter
How to convert kilojoules to megajoules
megajoules = kilojoules ÷ 1,000
To convert kilojoules to megajoules, divide the number of kilojoules by 1,000.
1 kJ = 0.001 MJ
Examples
- The EU daily reference intake for an adult: 8,400 kJ ÷ 1,000 = 8.4 MJ
- 500 kJ ÷ 1,000 = 0.5 MJ
