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 | 5 | −0.16294 |
| 1 decimal | 5.2 | +0.03706 |
| 2 decimals | 5.16 | −0.00294 |
Round trip: take 5.16 lb-ft back the other way and you land on 6.9960 N·m — a drift of 0.0040 N·m. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
