Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 mC/kg = 0.001 coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Rep = 0.000258 coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
Step-by-step substitution for Millicoulomb/kilogram → Roentgen Equivalent Physical:V(Rep) = V(mC/kg) × ( 0.001 / 0.000258 ) = V(mC/kg) × 3.875969
