- 1 lbf·ft = 1.35581794833 N·m
- 1 × 1.35581794833 = 1.35581794833 N·m
How to convert foot-pounds to newton-meters
1 lbf·ft = 1.35581794833 N·m, so multiply by 1.35581794833 to go from foot-pounds (lbf·ft) to newton-meters. Going the other way, 1 N·m = 0.737562149277 lbf·ft.
N·m = lbf·ft × 1.35581794833 lbf·ft = N·m × 0.737562149277
Worked example:
1 lbf·ft = 1.35581794833 N·m 5 × 1.35581794833 = 6.77908974166 N·m
