Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal
