The answer to this question depends on the definition of the pound you are supposed to use. There are a number of different "pounds", the most customary are:
The British avoirdupois pound, where 1 kg = 2.205 lb,
the troy pound, where 1 kg = 2.679 lbt,
the metric pound, where 1 kg = 2.000 pound.
(all numbers rounded to three digits)
In the US, the avoirdupois pound was adopted in 1959, replacing a slightly lighter pound definition introduced in 1893. The troy pound is still custom in weighing gold and the metric pound is occasionally used in central Europe as an inofficial unit, e.g. Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
A wide variety of historic pound definitions exist; I am aware of at least 20 ranging from 1 pound = 1 kg (Dutch 'pond') to the 1 lbt = 0.37324 kg (troy pound).
1 kg is about 2.2 punds. To convert from pounds to kg you must divide by 2.2. 1 pound=1/2.2 kg = 0.45454545 kg. To convert from kilogram to pounds multiply by 2.2
