UNDERSTAND THE UNITS
Converting mass
Mass measures the amount of matter. A pound avoirdupois is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Mass is different from force, even though everyday language often calls both weight.
How the calculation works
Multiply the source value by its base-unit factor, then divide by the destination factor. For example, 1 kg ≈ 2.204622622 lb.
Precision and rounding
Choose 6, 10 or 15 significant figures for the displayed result. Calculations use unrounded JavaScript numbers. The ≈ symbol indicates that displayed results may be rounded; significant figures are display precision, not measurement accuracy.
