How the conversion works

The pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, which makes 1 kg equal to about 2.20462 lb. The conversion is a single multiplication or division:

kg → lbs: multiply by 2.20462 — 70 kg × 2.20462 = 154.3236 lb
lbs → kg: divide by 2.20462 — 150 lb ÷ 2.20462 = 68.0389 kg

The underlying factor (2.20462262185) comes straight from the international definition of the pound fixed in 1959, so any rounding in results comes only from trimming long decimals for readability.
