How to convert electronvolts to kilocalories

To convert electronvolts to kilocalories, divide by 2.61145e+22 (multiply by 3.82929e-23). The relationship is fixed, so the same factor works for any quantity — there is nothing to look up and nothing that changes with temperature, location or context.

kcal = eV × 3.82929e-23
