  1. 1 MeV = 3.82929405832e-17 kcal
  2. 1 × 3.82929405832e-17 = 3.82929405832e-17 kcal

How to convert megaelectronvolts to kilocalories

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

kcal = MeV × 3.82929405832
MeV = kcal × 2.61144739675

Worked example:

1 MeV = 3.82929405832e-17 kcal
5 × 3.82929405832e-17 = 1.91464702916e-16 kcal
