How it works

lb = oz ÷ 16

One pound is exactly 16 ounces, so dividing by 16 gives you pounds as a decimal. The whole number is your pounds. Multiply what's left over by 16 to turn it back into ounces.

  1. Divide by 16 to get pounds 79 ÷ 16 = 4.938 lb
  2. Keep the whole pounds round down 4.938 → 4 lb
  3. Turn the leftover into ounces (4.938 − 4) × 16 = 15 oz
