To convert a measurement in kilocalories to a measurement in therms, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 3.9657E-5 therms/kilocalorie.

Since one kilocalorie is equal to 3.9657E-5 therms, you can use this simple formula to convert:

therms = kilocalories × 3.9657E-5

The energy in therms is equal to the energy in kilocalories multiplied by 3.9657E-5.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 kilocalories to therms using the formula above.
therms = (50,000 kcal × 3.9657E-5) = 1.982833 therms

Kilocalories and therms are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Kilocalorie?

One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.

Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.

When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.
