Divide the kilogram value by 0.45359237, the exact mass of one pound in kilograms. So 142 kg ÷ 0.45359237 ≈ 313.06 pounds.

Multiply by 0.45359237: 313.06 lb × 0.45359237 ≈ 142 kg. The factor itself is exact by definition — the tiny gap on the way back comes only from rounding the printed pound value.
