How to Convert Ergs to Kilojoules
To convert ergs to kilojoules, multiply the number of ergs by 10-10. This is because 1 kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, and 1 joule is equal to 10,000,000 ergs.
Formula
Kilojoules = Ergs × 10-10
or
kJ = erg × 1e-10
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in ergs
- Multiply that number by 10-10
- The result is the equivalent energy in kilojoules
Examples
- 10,000,000 ergs = 10,000,000 × 1e-10 = 0.001 kJ
- 100,000,000 ergs = 100,000,000 × 1e-10 = 0.01 kJ
- 1,000,000,000 ergs = 1,000,000,000 × 1e-10 = 0.1 kJ
