You cannot.

A kilogram is a measure of mass while a Joule is a measure of energy. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Kilograms (kg) and joules (J) are units of different physical properties. Kilograms measure mass, while joules measure energy. You can't convert directly from kilograms to joules without a specific context or equation relating the two units, such as with the equation E=mc^2 for converting mass to energy.

The 'K' in 'KJ' stands for "kilo". That's the multiplier "1,000" .

So 1 KJ = 1,000 joules.

The same 'K' is also found in

-- Kilometer (distance, 1,000 meters)

-- Kph (speed, kilometer per hour)

-- Kilohertz (frequency, 1,000 hertz)

-- Kilopascal (pressure, 1,000 pascals)

-- Kilowatt (power, 1,000 watts)

-- Kilowatt-hour (energy, 1,000 watt-hours)
