Multiply the pounds by it: 180 × 0.45359237 = 81.6466266 kg. The product keeps every digit, so the only rounding is the one you choose. In grams that is 81,646.6266 g, and in ounces 180 lb is 2,880 oz, since a pound is 16 oz.

Why the sum looks like this

The pound is the smaller unit, so the same weight takes fewer kilograms. One pound is 0.45359237 kg, so 180 pounds is 180 × 0.45359237 = 81.6466266 kg. There is no offset to worry about, unlike temperature, so doubling the pounds always doubles the kilograms.

Check it in your head

The quick habit is to divide by 2.2. For 180 lbs that gives 81.82 kg, which is 0.172 kg over the exact 81.65. Halving gives 90, which is 8.35 kg too high. A closer way is to halve it and take away a tenth of the half: 90 − 9 = 81, which is 0.647 kg under.
