How do you convert kilograms to pounds and other weight units?
Each value is converted to kilograms using its factor, then divided by the target unit factor; for example, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg. So 1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds = 35.274 ounces. Mass is the amount of matter; a metric tonne is 1,000 kg and a stone is 14 pounds.
