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 81 ÷ 16 = 5.063 lb
  2. Keep the whole pounds round down 5.063 → 5 lb
  3. Turn the leftover into ounces (5.063 − 5) × 16 = 1 oz
