Conversion Formulas

Gram is a metric system unit of mass and it was first defined as a mass of 1 milliliter (1 cm3) of water at 0°C (later at 4°C) - modern definition of a gram and a kilogram is based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h, but the actual difference is very small and can be ignored in everyday situations.

Thus, pounds-grams conversion formulas are:

1 pound = 0.453592 kg = 453.592 grams

1 gram = 0.0022 pounds

As one can see, 1 pound is ~454 grams, which is accurate enough in most situations and it is very easy to remember - at least much easier than 453.592 grams :)

Since this is the conversion of the two mass units, the actual conversion is very simple.
