UnitValue

All four units describe the same mass; the pound used here is the international avoirdupois pound.

Formula

Convert the source value to kilograms, then divide by the target unit's kilogram factor: target = value × source factor ÷ target factor.

UnitKilograms per unit
Kilogram (kg)1
Gram (g)0.001
Pound (lb)0.45359237
Ounce (oz)0.028349523125

The pound factor is exact by international agreement: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. The ounce is 1/16 of that pound.

Worked example

1 kg ÷ 0.45359237 kg/lb = 2.204623 lb, and 1 kg ÷ 0.028349523125 kg/oz = 35.273962 oz. A 70 kg person is 70 ÷ 0.45359237 = 154.323584 lb.

Scope and limitations

Negative weights are rejected as invalid. Display values are rounded to 6 decimal places; the underlying calculation is not rounded. This page uses avoirdupois pounds and ounces (the everyday US/UK system), not troy units used for precious metals.

FAQ

How many pounds are in a kilogram?

1 kg = 2.20462262185 lb, shown as 2.204623 after display rounding.

Is this the same pound used for gold?

No. Gold uses troy pounds and troy ounces, which differ. This page uses the avoirdupois pound for everyday weights.

How many ounces in a pound?

16 ounces = 1 pound, exactly.

Why 6 decimal places?

So small conversions (for example grams to ounces) stay readable without hiding the underlying precision.

Does it handle stones?

Not directly: 1 stone = 14 lb = 6.35029318 kg. Convert stones to kilograms first and enter that value.
