How it works

st = lb ÷ 14

One stone is exactly 14 pounds, so dividing by 14 gives you stone as a decimal. The whole number is your stone. Multiply what's left over by 14 to turn it back into pounds.

  1. Divide by 14 to get stone 189 ÷ 14 = 13.5 st
  2. Keep the whole stone round down 13.5 → 13 st
  3. Turn the leftover into pounds (13.5 − 13) × 14 = 7 lb
