Kilocalories to Megaelectronvolts Converter

Convert kilocalories (food Calories) (kcal) to megaelectronvolts (MeV), with the formula, a conversion table and exact factors.

Change the values and press Calculate to work out your own figures.

Enter an amount of energy, choose its unit and the unit you want. The answer is exact until it is shown, and the same value appears in every other unit.

A number, fraction (3/8), mixed number (1 1/2), scientific notation (2.5e6) or a simple sum such as 2*3.
The unit you want the answer in. Swap exchanges the two units.

Show the working
  1. 1 kcal = 2.61144739675e16 MeV
  2. 1 × 2.61144739675e16 = 2.61144739675e16 MeV

How to convert kilocalories to megaelectronvolts

1 kcal = 2.61144739675 × 10¹⁶ MeV, so multiply by 2.61144739675 to go from kilocalories (food Calories) to megaelectronvolts. Going the other way, 1 MeV = 3.82929405832 × 10⁻¹⁷ kcal.

MeV = kcal × 2.61144739675
kcal = MeV × 3.82929405832

Worked example:

1 kcal = 2.61144739675e16 MeV
5 × 2.61144739675e16 = 1.30572369838e17 MeV
