st to kg Conversion: How to Convert Stone to Kilogram
The stone (st) is a unit of weight commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland, primarily for measuring body weight. One stone is equivalent to 14 pounds. In contrast, the kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used around the world.
Converting stones to kilograms is straightforward using the conversion factor: 1 st = 6.35029 kg. To perform the conversion, simply multiply the number of stones by 6.35029.
For example, to convert 5 st to kg:
kg = 5 st × 6.35029 kg/st = 31.75145 kg
This means that 5 stone is equal to approximately 31.75 kilograms. Understanding this conversion is useful for interpreting weight measurements, especially when comparing figures from regions that use different measurement systems.
For quick reference, here is a simple formula:
kg = st × 6.35029
By using this formula, you can easily convert any value from stones to kilograms.
