Question

What is a fast way to get an approximate conversion between pounds and kilograms?

Han

Community Answer

One pound is very roughly 0.5 kilograms, so for a quick approximate conversion from pounds to kilograms, you would divide the number of pounds by 2. To convert from kilograms to pounds, multiply the number of kilograms by 2. This gives you a quick estimate with an error margin of about 10%.
