Convert through kilograms

Each unit is mapped to its kilogram equivalent. Converting through the common base avoids maintaining separate pairwise conversion rules.

Output = input × kg-per-source-unit / kg-per-target-unit

Worked example

Kilograms to pounds

Inputs: value: 1 kg · from: kg · to: lb

Illustrative result: About 2.20462 lb

The pound factor is 0.45359237 kilograms, so the displayed value is its reciprocal.
