FAQ about Joule to Calorie Conversion

1 joule (J) is equal to 0.23885 calorie (cal).

1J = 0.23885cal

The Energy E in calorie (cal) is equal to the Energy E in joule (J) times 0.23885, that conversion formula:

E(cal) = E(J) × 0.23885

One Joule is equal to 0.23885 Calorie:

1J = 1J × 0.23885 = 0.23885cal

One Calorie is equal to 4.1868 Joule:

1cal = 1cal × 4.1868 = 4.1868J

E(cal) = 5(J) × 0.23885 = 1.19425cal
