Pounds to grams (lbs to g) conversion factor is 453.59237 (for troy pound, 373.2417216). To find out how many grams in a pound, multiply the pound value by the conversion factor or use the converter. 1 Pound = 453.59237 Grams, 1 Troy Pound = 373.2417216 Grams. There are 453.59237 grams in a pound, because 1 kilogram is defined as 2.20462 pounds and there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. If you divide the grams in a kilogram by pounds, that makes 1000 / 2.20462 = 453.59237 grams in a pound. For example, to find out how many grams there are in a pound and a half, multiply the pound value by the conversion factor, 1.5 lb * 453.59237 = 680.38 grams in a pound and a half.
