How to convert kilojoules per kilogram kelvin to calories per gram °C
cal/(g⋅°C) = kJ/(kg⋅K) × 0.2390057361Because one calorie per gram °C equals 4.184 kilojoules per kilogram kelvin, you can also divide: cal/(g⋅°C) = kJ/(kg⋅K) ÷ 4.184.
A kilojoule per kilogram kelvin is smaller than a calorie per gram °C: it takes 4.184 kilojoules per kilogram kelvin to make one calorie per gram °C.

About the units
Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K))
The kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K)) is a unit of specific heat capacity in the International System of Units (SI). One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 1,000 joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)).
Calorie per gram °C (cal/(g⋅°C))
The calorie per gram °C (cal/(g⋅°C)) is a unit of specific heat capacity. One calorie per gram °C equals 4,184 joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)).
Frequently asked questions
How many calories per gram °C are in one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin?
There are 0.2390057361 calories per gram °C in one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilojoules per kilogram kelvin to calories per gram °C?
