  1. 1 N·m = 0.737562149277 lbf·ft
  2. 1 × 0.737562149277 = 0.737562149277 lbf·ft

How to convert newton-meters to foot-pounds

1 N·m = 0.737562149277 lbf·ft, so multiply by 0.737562149277 to go from newton-meters to foot-pounds (lbf·ft). Going the other way, 1 lbf·ft = 1.35581794833 N·m.

lbf·ft = N·m × 0.737562149277
N·m = lbf·ft × 1.35581794833

Worked example:

1 N·m = 0.737562149277 lbf·ft
5 × 0.737562149277 = 3.68781074639 lbf·ft
