How to Convert Grams Into Pounds
Do you need to convert grams (g) to pounds (lbs), or pounds to grams? It's easy to do. All you need to know is that 1 g = 0.0022 lbs, and thus 1 lb = 453.6 g. Use the formulas below to do your conversion.
Steps [edit]
- Multiply the number of grams you need to measure by the
conversion factor to get the equivalent number of pounds (grams X
0.0022 = pounds).
- Example: 1500 grams x 0.0022 = 3.3 pounds.
- Multiply the number of pounds you need to measure by the
conversion factor to get the equivalent number of grams (pounds X
453.6 = grams).
- Example: 3.3 pounds x 453.6 = 1500 grams.
- Use a more exact conversion factor if you need a more precise
measurement. The conversion factors given above are rounded, and
will suffice for most common tasks, but when you need more
precision, you can simply use the conversion factors below and use
as many decimal places as you need.

Tips [edit]
- A calculator helps with the math.
- Use Google. It can convert many measurements and standardizations easier than you can remember them all and faster than you can otherwise look them up. Try entering a search in Google for "5 grams to pounds" for example. The answer "5 grams = 0.0110231131 pounds" will appear at the top of your search results.
