How to convert kilograms to pounds
One kilogram equals 2.2046226218 pounds, so converting kg to lb is just a matter of multiplying the value by that factor. For example, 70 kg × 2.2046226218 ≈ 154.32 lb. Going the other way, divide the pound value by the same factor (or multiply by 0.45359237, the kg equivalent of one pound).
This conversion comes up constantly when traveling to the US — where body weight, luggage allowances and even recipes are usually given in pounds — or when reading product specs, workout plans or supplement labels published in imperial units. The pound used here is the avoirdupois pound, the international standard for body weight and trade.
