How to convert kilograms to pounds
These units measure mass. Pounds and ounces mean avoirdupois unless the unit explicitly says troy; a fluid ounce measures volume and requires a density to relate it to mass.
lb = kg ÷ 0.45359237One pound corresponds to 0.45359237 kilograms, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
