How to convert british thermal units to kilojoules

1 Btu = 1.05505585262 kJ, so multiply by 1.05505585262 to go from British thermal units (IT) to kilojoules. Going the other way, 1 kJ = 0.947817120313 Btu.

kJ = Btu × 1.05505585262
Btu = kJ × 0.947817120313

Worked example:

1 Btu = 1.05505585262 kJ
5 × 1.05505585262 = 5.2752792631 kJ
