Weight conversion factors and kg to lbs
Weight conversion works by converting every unit to grams and then dividing back into the unit you want. The metric units (mg, g, kg, t) step up in factors of 1,000, while the imperial units (ounce, pound) and the Korean traditional units (geun, don) use fixed factors.
| Unit | In grams | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Milligram (mg) | 0.001 g | 1 g = 1,000 mg |
| Gram (g) | 1 g | base unit |
| Kilogram (kg) | 1,000 g | 1 kg = 1,000 g |
| Tonne (t) | 1,000,000 g | 1 t = 1,000 kg |
| Ounce (oz) | 28.349523 g | 16 oz = 1 lb |
| Pound (lb) | 453.59237 g | 1 lb ≈ 0.4536 kg |
| Geun (Korean, meat) | 600 g | most common standard |
| Don (Korean, gold/silver) | 3.75 g | 100 don = 375 g |
For example, to turn a body weight of 70 kg into pounds, divide 70 by 0.45359237 to get about 154.32 pounds. Five don of gold is 5 × 3.75 = 18.75 g. For more conversion tips, see the unit conversion cheat sheet.
