How to Convert Stones
Stones can be converted to other units of weight by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert stones to other units of weight in the US customary system and the SI system:
- To convert stones to pounds, multiply by 14. For example, 10 st = 10 x 14 = 140 lb.
- To convert stones to ounces, multiply by 224. For example, 5 st = 5 x 224 = 1120 oz.
- To convert stones to tons (short), divide by 142.857. For example, 20 st = 20 / 142.857 = 0.14 ton.
- To convert stones to kilograms, multiply by 6.35. For example, 8 st = 8 x 6.35 = 50.8 kg.
- To convert stones to grams, multiply by 6350. For example, 3 st = 3 x 6350 = 19050 g.
