1 kilojoules = 10^3 joules
if you see the word "kilo" in front of any unit, it will be 10^3 times as many as the base unit
1 kilogram = 10^3 grams

A joule is a unit of work- the amount of work to move one newton of force one meter, right?
Simply divide the number of joules by one thousand to get kilojoules.
So for example, 2000 J is equal to 2 KJ.

just multiply by 1000
1000 joules = 1 kilojoule

move the decimal point three places to the left. Just like converting any metric based "kilo-xxx" to "xxx".
