## Formula

- `1 N·m = 8.85075 lbf·in`
- `pound-inches (in-lb) = newton-meters × 8.850745791`
- Reverse: `newton-meters = pound-inches (in-lb) × 0.112984829`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 N·m = 44.2537 lbf·in
- 12.5 N·m = 110.634 lbf·in
- 100 N·m = 885.075 lbf·in

## FAQ

**How many pound-inches (in-lb) are in one newton-meter?**

1 N·m = 8.85075 lbf·in. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert newton-meters to pound-inches (in-lb)?**

Multiply the value in newton-meters by 8.850745791: pound-inches (in-lb) = newton-meters × 8.850745791. For example, 5 N·m = 44.2537 lbf·in.

**How do I convert pound-inches (in-lb) back to newton-meters?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.112984829 (newton-meters = pound-inches (in-lb) × 0.112984829), or use the pound-inches (in-lb)-to-newton-meters page.
