How to Convert Grams to Stones

To convert grams to stones, multiply the weight by the following conversion ratio: 0.000157473 stones/gram.

Since one gram is equal to 0.000157473 stones, you can use this simple formula to convert:

stones = grams × 0.000157473

The weight in stones is equal to the weight in grams multiplied by 0.000157473.

For example, here's how to convert 5 grams to stones using the formula above.

stones = (5 g × 0.000157473) = 0.000787365 st

How Many Stones Are in a Gram?

There are 0.000157473 stones in a gram, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 g = 0.000157473 st|1 st = 6,350.29318 g

Our gram to stone calculator automatically converts your weight measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Grams and stones are both units used to measure weight. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Gram?

A gram is a unit of weight equal to 1/1,000 of a kilogram (0.001 kg). Metric unit equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). [1]

The gram is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of weight. Grams can be abbreviated as g; for example, 1 gram can be written as 1 g.

When working with grams (g) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, grams (g) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale weight measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a Stone?

A stone is a unit of weight equal to 6.3502932 kilograms (kg), the base unit for weight. British imperial unit equal to 14 pounds (6.35029 kg). [2]

The stone is classified as a US customary and imperial unit of weight. Stones can be abbreviated as st; for example, 1 stone can be written as 1 st.

When working with stones (st) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, stones (st) are widely used across standard weight applications within US customary and imperial workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting weight between grams (g) and stones (st), keep full floating-point precision (1 g = 0.000157473 st; 1 st = 6,350.29318 g) during intermediate calculations and round only the final stone figure to match your instrument tolerance.
