I believe that you meant 1 BTU = 1.055056 kJ which makes 1 therm = 105.5056
MJ
I am attaching the NIST special publication 811, which shows all these
conversions. In fact their numbers looks a little bit different:
1 therm US = 105.4804 MJ
1 therm EC = 105.5060 MJ
As always, everything is approximate with the imperials. I use 1 therm =
105.5 MJ and this is good enough for me.

The Canadian Metric Practice Guide gives:
1 therm = 100 000 Btu = 1.055 056 kJ
