Converting pounds to stones is a straightforward process commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express body weight. One stone is equivalent to 14 pounds. To perform the conversion, divide the weight in pounds by 14. For example, a weight of 28 pounds divided by 14 equals 2 stones. Conversely, to convert stones to pounds, multiply the number of stones by 14. This method provides an easy way to switch between these two units of measurement.
