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 197 ÷ 14 = 14.071 st
  2. Keep the whole stone round down 14.071 → 14 st
  3. Turn the leftover into pounds (14.071 − 14) × 14 = 1 lb
