How the conversion works

The international avoirdupois pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. To go from kilograms to pounds, divide by 0.45359237 — equivalently, multiply by about 2.20462262. The converter below is preloaded with 70 kg; edit the value and press Convert to reveal the answer.

Everyday uses

Airlines usually quote baggage limits in both units, gym plates are often labelled in one system only, and recipes cross between grams and ounces. Because the factor is exact, any rounding you see comes from display precision, not from the definition.

Keep in mind

  • This page converts mass. It does not convert pounds-force, fluid ounces or troy ounces.
  • A bathroom scale's accuracy limits the meaningful precision — converting 70 kg to six decimals does not make the measurement that precise.
