About Converting Megajoules to US therms
Megajoule and US therm both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Megajoule is 1000000 joule units, and uS therm used for natural gas energy.
Formula
us therms = megajoules × 0.00948043427973
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megajoule equals 1000000 base units, and 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megajoule-to-us therm factor of 0.00948043427973.
Simple example
1 MJ × 0.00948043428 = 0.0094804343 therm
1 megajoule = 0.0094804343 us therms.
Real-world example
100 MJ × 0.00948043428 = 0.948043428 therm
100 megajoules = 0.948043428 us therms.
