How to convert newtons to kilograms-force

1 N = 0.101971621298 kgf, so multiply by 0.101971621298 to go from newtons to kilograms-force. Going the other way, 1 kgf = 9.80665 N.

kgf = N × 0.101971621298
N = kgf × 9.80665

Worked example:

1 N = 0.101971621298 kgf
5 × 0.101971621298 = 0.509858106489 kgf
