I recall the conversions:

#"760 torr = 1 atm"# (1)

#"1 atm = 101.325 kPa"# (2)

So:

#"798" cancel"torr" xx cancel"1 atm"/("760" cancel"torr") xx "101.325 kPa"/cancel"1 atm"#

#color(blue)("= 106.391 kPa")#

which makes sense when you compare to #"760 torr"#; by connecting conversion factor (1) and (2), #"760 torr = 101.325 kPa"#. Thus, you can also say that:

#"798 torr"/"760 torr" = (x " kPa")/"101.325 kPa"#

#("798" cancel"torr")/("760" cancel"torr") xx "101.325 kPa" = "106.391 kPa"#
