Convert calorie to large calorie

Learn how to convert 1 calorie to large calorie step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (l a r g e c a l o r i e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (c a l o r i e) = 4.1868 (j o u l e) = 4.1868 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (l a r g e c a l o r i e) = 4186.8 (j o u l e) = 4186.8 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (l a r g e c a l o r i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.1868 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 4186.8 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.1868 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 4186.8 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.1868 \cdot (J) = x \times 4186.8 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.1868 = x \times 4186.8

Switch sides

x \times 4186.8 = 4.1868

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4186.8})

x \times 4186.8 \times \frac{1.0}{4186.8} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{4186.8}

Cancel

x \times 4186.8 \times \frac{1.0}{4186.8} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{4186.8}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.1868}{4186.8}

Solve

x

x = 0.001

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = 0.001 (l a r g e c a l o r i e)
