Converting 89 kilograms gives 14 st 0.2 lb. One multiplication does it — 89 × 0.1574730444 = 14.0151009532 stones — and because the factor is defined rather than measured, that answer will not drift over time.
At 89 kg, BMI works out to 34.8 at 1.60 m, 30.8 at 1.70 m, 27.5 at 1.80 m and 24.7 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.
Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 6.4 instead of using the exact factor 0.1574730444. At 89 that shortcut gives 13.90625 stones, off by 0.1089 stones or about 0.78%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
