How many grams are in a pound?

In: Weight and Mass [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are 453.59232 Grams in a Pound. (Rounded to 453.59 or 453.6)

Another answer which I found - a number very close to that one says -

453.59237 grams per pound.

I wonder why?
Grams are a metric mesurement. Pound is an outdated imperial mesurement. Due to this there is no direct relationship between the two measurements. 1 pound = 453.59237g though for most purposes this is rounded to 453.6g per pound.

Algebraic steps:

1 lb

1 kg
2.2046226218 lb

1000 g
1 kg

453.59237 g
