About the stone to pounds converter

A body-weight record in stone sometimes includes an additional number of pounds. Decimal stone is a different notation: 11.5 stone means eleven and a half stone. Convert mixed stone-and-pound records to a single stone value before using this field.

One stone is exactly 14 pounds, so 11 st is 154 lb. To convert stone to lbs, multiply by 14; to convert back, multiply by 0.0714285714.

The stone is 14 pounds, exactly 6.35029318 kg. Because both units are defined exactly, the factor above is exact and the results here carry no conversion error.
