Put 237 pounds into the exact factor of 0.45359237 and you get 107.5013917 kg. Written out: 237 × 0.45359237 = 107.50139169 kilograms, with no rounding applied until the final display.
At 107.501 kg, BMI works out to 42 at 1.60 m, 37.2 at 1.70 m, 33.2 at 1.80 m and 29.8 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 2.499 kg short of 110 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 110 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 0.45359237. At 237 that shortcut gives 107.72727 kilograms, off by 0.2259 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
