Factors come from the stored source family and are not derived from rounded display values.
UnitCloud keeps calculating with stored factors and rounds only the displayed output by selected precision.
Do not use as the sole basis for official, medical, safety-critical or contractual decisions.

Common questions
Which base unit does Énergie use?
UnitCloud normalises this family through J. That keeps tables, direct conversions and batch output consistent.
What is the most common mistake for Énergie?
Food calories are kilocalories. Utility bills use kilowatt-hours. Both are energy units, but in different contexts.
How does UnitCloud round?
UnitCloud keeps calculating with stored factors and rounds only the displayed output by selected precision.
