I found these formulas online:

HP = (Torque [lb-ft] x RPM) / 5252
kW = (Torque [Nm] x RPM) / 9549
PS = (Torque [Nm] x RPM) / 7127

Can you explain why you have used a constant of 7023?

People sometimes use rounded approximations (e.g., 9549 or 7127) for quick estimates, but 7023 has no recognized basis and is not used in accepted references or technical practice.
