Why this conversion is exact, not approximate
A pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms by international agreement -- this isn't a measured average, it's an exact legal definition. That means the conversion factor is reliable to as many decimal places as you need; any rounding you see is for display convenience, not because the underlying ratio is uncertain.
