When it misleads you

How it is calculated

The entered value in pounds is multiplied by the conversion factor into kilograms — this gives the result.

The result is rounded to the chosen number of decimal places using standard mathematical rounding.

The "1 kilogram = …" row shows the reverse ratio — one divided by the original factor — so you can quickly check which direction the conversion runs.

The calculation updates instantly on every change to the input field or precision, with no separate button.
