How to convert mg to lbs: The mg to lbs formula

The formula for converting milligrams ( $\text{mg}$ ) to pounds ( $\text{lb}$ ) is simple:

1\ \text{mg} = 0.000002205\ \text{lb}

So, if we have $x\ \text{mg}$ , we have $(0.000002205\cdot x)\ \text{lb}$ .

We can invert the equation to also obtain the formula for converting backward, i.e. the lbs to mg formula:

1\ \text{lb} = 453,\!592.37\ \text{mg}

So, if we have $y\ \text{lb}$ , we have $(453,\!592.37\cdot y)\ \text{mg}$ .

And there we have it: how to convert milligrams to pounds!
