The stone is a unit of weight commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland, equivalent to 14 pounds. To convert stones to pounds, simply multiply the number of stones by 14. For example, 5 stones equal 70 pounds (5 × 14 = 70). Conversely, to convert pounds to stones, divide the number of pounds by 14; thus, 70 pounds equal 5 stones (70 ÷ 14 = 5). This conversion is useful for individuals familiar with the stone measurement who need to express weights in pounds, especially when interacting with regions where the pound is the standard unit of weight.
