Convert pound to grain

Learn how to convert 1 pound to grain step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (g r a i n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (p o u n d) = 0.3732417216 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.3732417216 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (g r a i n) = 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} (k i l o g r a m) = 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (g r a i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3732417216 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3732417216 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3732417216 \cdot (k g) = x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

0.3732417216 = x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}

Switch sides

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} = 0.3732417216

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}})

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.3732417216 \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Cancel

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.3732417216 \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.3732417216}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 5}} can be rewritten to 10^{5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 0.3732417216}{6.479891}

Solve

x

x = 5760 = 5.76 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o u n d) = 5.76 \times 10^{3} (g r a i n)
