Converting from Gigacalorie (Gcal) to Megacalorie (Mcal) | Energy

What is Gigacalorie (Gcal)

Gigacalorie (Gcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of thermodynamics. It is equivalent to one billion calories. The prefix "Giga" denotes a factor of 10^9, meaning one Gcal is equal to 1,000,000,000 calories.

What is Megacalorie (Mcal)

Megacalorie (Mcal) is another unit of energy, where "Mega" represents a factor of 10^6. One Megacalorie is equal to one million calories. Mcal is frequently used in the context of nutrition and food energy values.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Gigacalorie and Megacalorie is as follows:

1(Gcal)=1000(Mcal)

1(Mcal)=0.001(Gcal)

Examples

• 5 Gcal = 5000 Mcal
• 5 Mcal = 0.005 Gcal
• 16 Gcal = 16000 Mcal
• 16 Mcal = 0.016 Gcal
• 7 Gcal = 7000 Mcal
• 7 Mcal = 0.007 Gcal
