Show the work

  1. Find the conversion factor from Horsepower (mechanical) to Kilowatt

    1 hp = 745.6998716 W · 1 kW = 1,000 W

    factor = 745.6998716 ÷ 1,000 = 0.7456998716 kW per hp

  2. Multiply by the factor: hp cancels, leaving kW

    kW = hp × (kW per hp)

    1 hp × 0.7456998716 kW per hp = 0.7456998716 kW

How it works

1 hp = 0.7456998716 kW, so kW = hp × 0.7456998716
