So in this case it would be 5.2E+17 J, which is 124.4 Megatons as stated in the original post.

Alright. But, if I just plug in the magnitude of 6, then it would be 124.4 Megatons?For meteor impacts, the formula for energy in Joules is: 10^((Richter Magnitude + 5.87)/0.67)Earthquake Calculations

Yep, it just plugging in, though the results will be in Joules, but you can covert to Tons of TNT (divide by 4.184E+9).
