How to Convert Kg to Lb without a tool?
This is a shortcut and is an approximation
Step 1: Multiply Kg by 2. For eg let's convert 73 kg to pound.
73 * 2 = 146
Divide the result by 10 which is 146/10 = 14.6
Add the 2 numbers and you get 146 + 14.6 = 160.6 lbs.
Note: The actual result is 160.9 lbs
How to Convert lb to kg without a tool?
This is a shortcut and is an approximation. You can try this for lbs between 10 to 99 lbs and with other ranges you will get slightly higher error margins
Step 1:Leaving out the last digit, subtract the lb value from the remaining digits. For eg let's convert 180 lbs to kg.
if we leave out the last one, we get 18, so subtract 180-18 = 162
Divide the result by 2 which is 162/2 = 81 kg
The actual result is 81.6 kg
Let's take 99 lbs to kg, the number leaving out the last digit is 9.
Subtracting 9 from 99 we get 99 - 9 = 90
Divide 90 by 2 and we get 45.
Note: The actual result is 44.9 lbs

Weight of an object varies with gravity.
However in common usage terms, where effect of gravity does not really impact, mass and weight are used interchangeably.
A human body of mass 60 Kg still has mass 60 Kg on moon.
but in terms of weight, on the moon, the same human body weighs 6 times lesser.
