How the stone to pounds conversion works

The converter applies lb = stones × 14. The stone is defined as exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds, so the conversion needs no decimal factor — 1 stone is 14 lb, 10 stone is 140 lb. Going the other way, stones = lb ÷ 14.

Worked example: a scale reading of 10 stone 5 lb is 10 × 14 + 5 = 145 lb, which is 145 ÷ 2.20462 ≈ 65.77 kg (see our stone to kg converter). And 200 lb is 200 ÷ 14 ≈ 14.286 stone — said the British way, "14 stone 4".
