Gram is a metric system unit of mass and it was first defined as a mass of 1 milliliter (1 cm3) of water at 0°C (later at 4°C) - modern definition of a gram and a kilogram is based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h, but the actual difference is very small and can be ignored in everyday situations.

Thus, pounds-grams conversion formulas are:

1 pound = 0.453592 kg = 453.592 grams

1 gram = 0.0022 pounds
