A Pounds To Stones Converter is a tool that translates weight measurements from pounds (lbs) to stones (st). This conversion is essential for understanding and working with weight measurements in the UK and Ireland, where the stone unit is commonly used for measuring body weight. Given that one stone is equivalent to 14 pounds, converting pounds to stones involves dividing the pound value by 14. This tool ensures accurate weight conversions between these two imperial units.

This conversion is particularly vital in:

• Health and Fitness: For tracking body weight in stones, especially in regions where this unit is prevalent.
• Medical Contexts: In healthcare settings where patient weight might be recorded or discussed in stones.

The conversion from pounds to stones is performed by dividing the pound value by 14:

Pounds (lbs) ÷ 14 = Stones (st)

Another example, converting 168 pounds:

168 lbs ÷ 14 = 12 st
