About Converting Yoctojoules to Exajoules
Yoctojoule and Exajoule both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Yoctojoule is 1e-24 joule units, and exajoule is 1000000000000000000 joule units.
Formula
exajoules = yoctojoules × 1e-42
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 yoctojoule equals 1e-24 base units, and 1 exajoule equals 1e+18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct yoctojoule-to-exajoule factor of 1e-42.
Simple example
1 yJ × 1e-42 = 1e-42 EJ
1 yoctojoule = 1e-42 exajoules.
Real-world example
100 yJ × 1e-42 = 1e-40 EJ
100 yoctojoules = 1e-40 exajoules.
