Which measurement does this use?
These pounds are avoirdupois pounds, the everyday mass unit, not troy pounds or pound-force. One pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg. One stone is 14 pounds; the calculator can show a companion stone-and-pound answer.
Why is the pounds answer rounded?
The kg-to-pound factor has a repeating decimal expansion. Smart precision displays up to ten significant digits. Choose a fixed precision when you need consistent decimal places; the calculation keeps its unrounded value.
