It's not.

1 kilojoule (kJ) is 239 calories (cal) and therefore
1 kilojoule (kJ) is 0,239 kilocalories (kcal).
Conversely 1 kilocalorie is 4,184 kilojoule
And so 2500 kcal is precisely 10 460 kJ

Here's a wikipedia article about Joule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule
It helpfully lists conversions with other energy units, one of which is the calorie.
