Convert horsepower to horsepower

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower to horsepower step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (h o r s e p o w e r)

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

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 746.0 (w a t t) = 746.0 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 735.49875 (w a t t) = 735.49875 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (h o r s e p o w e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 746.0 \times (w a t t) = x \times 735.49875 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 746.0 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 735.49875 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 746.0 \cdot (W) = x \times 735.49875 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

746.0 = x \times 735.49875

Switch sides

x \times 735.49875 = 746.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{735.49875})

x \times 735.49875 \times \frac{1.0}{735.49875} = 746.0 \times \frac{1.0}{735.49875}

Cancel

x \times 735.49875 \times \frac{1.0}{735.49875} = 746.0 \times \frac{1.0}{735.49875}

Simplify

x = \frac{746.0}{735.49875}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.0142777265 \approx 1.0143

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) \approx 1.0143 (h o r s e p o w e r)
