The formula
oz = g × 0.03527396195
Where the factor comes from — each unit by its definition, then its size in SI:
1 g = kg / 1000 = 0.001 kg1 oz = lb / 16 = 0.028349523125 kg
Dividing the two SI sizes gives the factor: 0.0352739619496 (rounded for display; the underlying ratio is fixed by the definitions). The reverse factor is 28.349523125.
Physics formulas take mass in kilograms. Pounds (lb) are a unit of mass; pound-force (lbf) is the weight of a pound — a different quantity, on the force page.
