How the Kilograms to Pounds Converter Works
Kilograms and pounds are both units of mass, from the metric and imperial systems respectively. One kilogram equals about 2.20462 pounds, so to convert kilograms to pounds you multiply by 2.20462; to go the other way you divide. This converter also shows grams, ounces and stone.
It works by converting your value to grams first — the common base — then out to every other unit, which keeps the conversions consistent no matter which unit you start from. Enter a value and pick its unit.
pounds = kilograms × 2.20462
