How to calculate kilowatt in metric horsepower

Whether for a project, work, or study, converting kilowatt to metric horsepower correctly is easy and quick. The basis for this is knowing that 1 kilowatt equals 1.36 hp.

The mathematical tool you will use is this formula:

hp=kW0,73549875mathrm{hp} = frac{mathrm{kW}}{0{,}73549875}

See the step by step:

  1. Identify the value you want to convert in kW.
  2. Adapt that number to the formula.
  3. To finish, you must divide with the 0,73549875.

The result is the measurement ready for use in metric horsepower (hp).

Example:

See how quick it is to convert the value of 7,3550 kW to hp. Using the 0,73549875 factor, we have the following equation: 7,3550 ÷ 0,73549875 = 10. Therefore, 7,3550 kW represents a total of 10 hp.

7,3550 kW=7,35500,73549875 hp=10 hp7{,}3550 text{ kW} = frac{7{,}3550}{0{,}73549875} text{ hp} = 10 text{ hp}
