Pounds to Stones

A pound (symbol: lb) is a unit of mass used in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The international avoirdupois pound (the common pound used today) is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. The avoirdupois pound is equivalent to 16 avoirdupois ounces.

The stone (st) is a unit of measure equal to 14 pounds (lb) avoirdupois, or 6.3503 kilograms (kg). The plural of stone is also stone.

The stone measurement remains widely used in Britain, Australia, and Ireland for measuring human body weight. In the U.K. people may be said to weigh, e.g., "11 stone 4" (11 stones and 4 pounds), rather than "72 kilograms", or "158 pounds" as in the U.S.
