Convert pound to international unit

Learn how to convert 1 pound to international unit step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)

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 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k i l o g r a m) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3732417216 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3732417216 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3732417216 \cdot (k g) = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

0.3732417216 = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} = 0.3732417216

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}})

x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}} = 0.3732417216 \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{- 6} \times 660.0}{660.0 \times 10^{- 6}} = 0.3732417216 \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.3732417216 \times 660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} can be rewritten to 10^{6}

Rewrite

x = 10^{6} \times 0.3732417216 \times 660.0

Solve

x

x = 246339536.26 \approx 2.4634 \times 10^{8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o u n d) \approx 2.4634 \times 10^{8} (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)
