Conversion Formula
The formula to convert nanograms (n) to pounds (lbs) is: lbs = n × 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹. This works because 1 nanogram equals 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹ pounds. For example, if you have 5 nanograms, you multiply 5 by 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹:
- 5 × 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹ = 1.10231 × 10⁻⁸ lbs
- which is approximately 0.0000000110231 lbs
Conversion Example
Let’s convert 12 nanograms to pounds:
- Start with the number: 12 n
- Use the conversion factor: 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹
- Multiply: 12 × 2.20462 × 10⁻⁹
- Calculate: 12 × 2.20462 = 26.45544
- Attach the exponent: 26.45544 × 10⁻⁹
- Result: 2.645544 × 10⁻⁸ lbs
