The two units
Pound (lb). The avoirdupois pound, exactly 0.45359237 kilograms since 1959.
Ounce (oz). The avoirdupois ounce, one sixteenth of a pound. Not the troy ounce used for precious metals.
Because both units are defined in terms of the same base unit, the factor 16 is exact, not a rounded measurement.
