  1. 1 Mcal = 1.16222222222 kWh
  2. 1 × 1.16222222222 = 1.16222222222 kWh

How to convert megacalories to kilowatt-hours

1 Mcal = 1.16222222222 kWh, so multiply by 1.16222222222 to go from megacalories to kilowatt-hours. Going the other way, 1 kWh = 0.860420650096 Mcal.

kWh = Mcal × 1.16222222222
Mcal = kWh × 0.860420650096

Worked example:

1 Mcal = 1.16222222222 kWh
5 × 1.16222222222 = 5.81111111111 kWh
