• 3

  Sanity-check the Gigajoules to Kilocalories result by converting it back in the opposite direction; landing on your original input confirms both the direction and the 239005.74 factor were right before you rely on the number.

• Order-of-magnitude check: 1 Gigajoule = 239005.74 Kilocalory exactly, so type 1 first — a wildly different kilocalories figure means a stray comma, wrong field, or flipped direction before you convert real values.

• Direction is the classic slip: Gigajoules → Kilocalories multiplies by 239005.74, never by 0.000004184. If the kilocalories answer is off by roughly that factor, the ratio ran backwards — confirm the arrow and re-enter the value.
