How to Convert Megaelectronvolts to Kilojoules
The megaelectronvolt and kilojoule are both units of energy. By definition, 1 kilojoule equals exactly 6.2415090745e15 megaelectronvolts. This means to convert megaelectronvolts to kilojoules, you divide by 6.2415090745e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MeV to kilojoules:
We need to convert megaelectronvolts to kilojoules
Since 1 kJ = 6.2415090745e15 MeV, divide by 6.2415090745e15
5 ÷ 6.2415090745e15 = 8.01088317e-16
5 MeV = 8.01088317e-16 kJ

About These Units
Megaelectronvolt (MeV)
A megaelectronvolt (MeV) equals 1 million electronvolts. MeV measures nuclear binding energies, particle accelerator energies, and gamma radiation. The electron rest mass energy is 0.511 MeV. Nuclear reactions release energies in the MeV range.
Kilojoule (kJ)
A kilojoule (kJ) equals 1,000 joules or approximately 239 calories. Kilojoules measure food energy on nutrition labels in Australia, Europe, and many countries. An average adult needs 8,400-10,000 kJ daily. One kJ equals approximately 0.239 kcal.
