Convert Kilograms to Long tons
1 kilogram is 0.0009842 LT. One kilogram is exactly 0.000984206527611 long tons.
One kilogram is 9.8421 × 10^-4 long tons. To convert kilograms to long tons, multiply by 9.8421 × 10^-4; to go the other way, divide by 9.8421 × 10^-4 or multiply by 1016.0469. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. The SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by a metal cylinder in Paris.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 44 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert kilograms to long tons? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in kilograms.
- 2.Multiply by 9.8421 × 10^-4 — that is how many long tons fit in one kilogram.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 9.8421 × 10^-4, or multiply by 1016.0469.
Worked example: 25 kilograms to long tons
- Formula
- kg × 9.8421 × 10^-4 = LT
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 9.8421 × 10^-4 = 0.02 LT
- Answer
- 25 kg = 0.02 LT
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a kilogram?
The SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by a metal cylinder in Paris.
What is a long ton?
The British ton: 2,240 lb, against the US short ton’s 2,000 and the tonne’s 2,204.62. Three units, one word, and shipping documents use all three.
How many long tons are in a kilogram?
One kilogram is 9.8421 × 10^-4 long tons. Going the other way, one long ton is 1016.0469 kilograms. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
