About this conversion

Energy conversions link food labels in kJ and kcal, SP Group bills in kWh and air-conditioner capacity in BTU.

Unit conversion is simply multiplication by a fixed ratio. The ratio between two units of the same quantity never changes, so once you know it you can convert any value in either direction.

A conversion table is handy for common values, but a calculator is faster and avoids interpolation errors for anything in between.
