To convert kilograms (kg) to stones, you use the conversion factor: 1 stone = 6.35029 kg. Dividing 87 kg by 6.35029 gives approximately 13.7 stones. So, 87 kg is roughly equivalent to 13 stone and 10 pounds (since there are 14 pounds in a stone, the decimal 0.7 stone converts to about 10 pounds). This measurement is commonly used in the UK and Ireland, especially when discussing body weight. It provides a slightly different perspective compared to the metric system and is often more relatable for those familiar with stones and pounds.
