The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 newton-metre = 0.737562 pound-feet 40 × 0.737562 = 29.50
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (lb-ft) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 30 | +0.49751 |
| 1 decimal | 29.5 | −0.00249 |
| 2 decimals | 29.50 | −0.00249 |
Round trip: take 29.50 lb-ft back the other way and you land on 39.9966 N·m — a drift of 0.0034 N·m. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
