Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor between grams and pounds not a whole number?

Yes, by approximating: since 1 pound ≈ 454 grams, you can divide grams by 454 roughly. For example, 6000 ÷ 454 ≈ 13.22 pounds. This is close enough for many practical purposes but less precise than using the exact factor 453.59237.

Why do people use pounds instead of grams in some countries?
Some countries rely on the imperial system, where pounds are traditional units for measuring weight, especially in daily life and commerce. Grams and kilograms belong to the metric system, which is standard in most other countries. Cultural habits and legal standards influence which units are preferred.
How precise is the conversion from grams to pounds?
