About This Conversion

Pounds to stones converts a US or medical weight into the form British and Irish speakers actually use. Divide by 14: the whole number is the stones and the remainder is the pounds.

A decimal answer is almost never what you want here. 160 lb is 11.43 stone, which nobody says; the spoken form is 11 stone 6, because 0.43 × 14 rounds to 6 pounds. Always convert the fractional stone back into pounds before quoting the result.
