The gram is in a different system than the pounds. If you want to go back and forth between these two systems, you must use a formula to convert. It is quite simple to determine the number of grams in a kilogram based on their system. One thousands grams equals one kilogram. However, when converting between two different systems, the amount is not exact. For example, there are sixteen exact ounces in a pound.
However, there are a little over two pounds in one kilogram. A person must use the formula to convert the kilograms to pounds. To be exact, there are 2.2046 pounds in one kilogram. So, you would multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to get the number of pounds.
