How to convert long tons (uk) to hundredweight (us)
1 long ton (uk) is equal to 22.4 hundredweight (us):
1 lton = (1016046.9088 g ÷ 45359.237 g) cwt_us = 22.4 cwt_us
Each long ton (uk) is defined as 1016046.9088 g and each hundredweight (us) as 45359.237 g, so one lton equals 1016046.9088 ÷ 45359.237 cwt_us = 22.4 cwt_us.
Let w(lton) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in Long Ton (UK) (lton), and w(cwt_us) the value in Hundredweight (US) (cwt_us). Then:
w(cwt_us) = w(lton) × (1016046.9088 / 45359.237)
Equivalently, divide by how many lton fit into one cwt_us (grams per cwt_us divided by grams per lton):
w(cwt_us) = w(lton) ÷ 0.04464285714286
Or: hundredweight (us) = long ton (uk) ÷ 0.04464285714286
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 lton to hundredweight (us)
20 lton = 20 lton × (1016046.9088/45359.237) cwt_us = 448 cwt_us
20 lton = 20 lton ÷ 0.04464285714286 = 448 cwt_us
Example #2: Convert 50 lton to hundredweight (us)
50 lton = 50 lton × (1016046.9088/45359.237) cwt_us = 1120 cwt_us
50 lton = 50 lton ÷ 0.04464285714286 = 1120 cwt_us
Summary
To convert Long Ton (UK) to Hundredweight (US), multiply the value in lton by the ratio of grams per lton divided by grams per cwt_us. Equivalently: value_cwt_us = value_lton × (1016046.9088 / 45359.237). Numerically, 1 lton equals 22.4 cwt_us.
