It usually comes with a form attached: insurance paperwork, a sports club registration, a medical that wants imperial. The maths is simple either way: divide by 6.35029 and you land on 11.653 stone, which is 11 stone with 9 pounds left over. If the next reading up is what you need, 75 kg to stone follows the same worked format.
