How to convert metric tons to long tons (uk)
1 metric ton is equal to 0.98420652761106 long ton (uk):
1 t = (1000000 g ÷ 1016046.9088 g) lton = 0.98420652761106 lton
Each metric ton is defined as 1000000 g and each long ton (uk) as 1016046.9088 g, so one t equals 1000000 ÷ 1016046.9088 lton = 0.98420652761106 lton.
Let w(t) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in Metric Ton (t), and w(lton) the value in Long Ton (UK) (lton). Then:
w(lton) = w(t) × (1000000 / 1016046.9088)
Equivalently, divide by how many t fit into one lton (grams per lton divided by grams per t):
w(lton) = w(t) ÷ 1.0160469088
Or: long ton (uk) = metric ton ÷ 1.0160469088
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 t to long ton (uk)
20 t = 20 t × (1000000/1016046.9088) lton = 19.6841305522 lton
20 t = 20 t ÷ 1.0160469088 = 19.6841305522 lton
Example #2: Convert 50 t to long ton (uk)
50 t = 50 t × (1000000/1016046.9088) lton = 49.2103263806 lton
50 t = 50 t ÷ 1.0160469088 = 49.2103263806 lton
Summary
To convert Metric Ton to Long Ton (UK), multiply the value in t by the ratio of grams per t divided by grams per lton. Equivalently: value_lton = value_t × (1000000 / 1016046.9088). Numerically, 1 t equals 0.9842065276110606 lton.
Relationship context
You are converting between metric (SI) (Metric Tons) and imperial / UK (stone, long ton, pound, ounce) (Long Tons (UK)). 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 9.842065e-1.
