How do I convert kg to lbs and oz?

Type a value in either box, and the answer shows it in the other unit as you type.

1 kg = 2 lb 3.27 oz (2.204623 lb).

Pounds and ounces: 2 lb 3.27 oz. 1 kg = 2 lb 3.27 oz (2.204623 lb).

Pounds (lb) by kilograms (kg)

Converts kilograms (kg) to pounds and ounces and back, with the exact unit definitions.

Example with the default inputs (Kilograms (kg) 1): 1 kg = 2 lb 3.27 oz (2.204623 lb).

Formula: lb = kg × 2.20462262185 (the same as kg ÷ 0.45359237); then the whole pounds, and the rest × 16 in ounces

1 kilogram = 2.20462262185 pounds, from the exact definitions in NIST SP 811.
Ounces are rounded to 0.01 oz; a rest that rounds to 16 oz counts as one more pound (1 lb = 16 oz).
The answer shows at most 6 decimal places; the calculation keeps full precision.
