  1. 1 kN = 101.971621298 kgf
  2. 1 × 101.971621298 = 101.971621298 kgf

How to convert kilonewtons to kilograms-force

1 kN = 101.971621298 kgf, so multiply by 101.971621298 to go from kilonewtons to kilograms-force. Going the other way, 1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN.

kgf = kN × 101.971621298
kN = kgf × 0.00980665

Worked example:

1 kN = 101.971621298 kgf
5 × 101.971621298 = 509.858106489 kgf
