To convert Pounds to Kilograms in Python, you can use the following formula in the program.

Kilograms = Pounds * 0.45359237

Let us write a function, that takes the Pounds value as argument, computes the Kilograms using the above formula, and returns the result.

def poundsToKilograms(pounds):
    return pounds * 0.45359237

You may use this function, in your program, to convert Pounds to Kilograms.

The following is an example program, where we shall use the above conversion function, and convert 10 Pounds to Kilograms and print the result to output.

Python Program

# Function that converts Pounds to Kilograms
def poundsToKilograms(pounds):
    return pounds * 0.45359237

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Given pounds
    pounds = 10

    # Convert Pounds to Kilograms
    kilograms = poundsToKilograms(pounds)

    print(f"{pounds} Pounds is equal to {kilograms} Kilograms")
