Converting 22 stones gives 139.70645 kg. One multiplication does it — 22 × 6.35029318 = 139.70644996 kilograms — and because the factor is defined rather than measured, that answer will not drift over time.
At 139.706 kg, BMI works out to 54.6 at 1.60 m, 48.3 at 1.70 m, 43.1 at 1.80 m and 38.7 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 0.2936 kg short of 140 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 140 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 6.4 instead of using the exact factor 6.35029318. At 22 that shortcut gives 140.8 kilograms, off by 1.094 kilograms or about 0.78%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
