How to convert kilograms to stones?
Converting kg to st is commonly used in countries like the UK and Ireland, where people often measure body weight in stones (st) instead of kilograms (kg). If you're following a fitness plan or checking weight charts, understanding this conversion is useful.
Kilograms vs. Stones
-
1 stone (st) = 6.35 kilograms (kg)
-
Kilograms (kg) are the standard unit of mass in the metric system, while stones (st) are mainly used for body weight measurements in the imperial system.
To convert kilograms to stones, use this formula:
Stones (st) = Kilograms (kg) ÷ 6.35
Example: Convert 70 kg to stones:
70 ÷ 6.35 = 11.02 st
So, 70 kg is approximately 11 stone.
