How to convert long tons (uk) to metric tons
1 long ton (uk) is equal to 1.0160469088 metric ton:
1 lton = (1016046.9088 g ÷ 1000000 g) t = 1.0160469088 t
Each long ton (uk) is defined as 1016046.9088 g and each metric ton as 1000000 g, so one lton equals 1016046.9088 ÷ 1000000 t = 1.0160469088 t.
Let w(lton) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in Long Ton (UK) (lton), and w(t) the value in Metric Ton (t). Then:
w(t) = w(lton) × (1016046.9088 / 1000000)
Equivalently, divide by how many lton fit into one t (grams per t divided by grams per lton):
w(t) = w(lton) ÷ 0.98420652761106
Or: metric ton = long ton (uk) ÷ 0.98420652761106
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 lton to metric ton
20 lton = 20 lton × (1016046.9088/1000000) t = 20.320938176 t
20 lton = 20 lton ÷ 0.98420652761106 = 20.320938176 t
Example #2: Convert 50 lton to metric ton
50 lton = 50 lton × (1016046.9088/1000000) t = 50.80234544 t
50 lton = 50 lton ÷ 0.98420652761106 = 50.80234544 t
Summary
To convert Long Ton (UK) to Metric Ton, multiply the value in lton by the ratio of grams per lton divided by grams per t. Equivalently: value_t = value_lton × (1016046.9088 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 lton equals 1.0160469088 t.
Relationship context
You are converting between imperial / UK (stone, long ton, pound, ounce) (Long Tons (UK)) and metric (SI) (Metric Tons). Metric mass is decimal from the gram; US and imperial masses use pounds and ounces with fixed definitions relative to the kilogram. The numeric factor used here is 1.016047e+0.
