How the calculation works

Divide total avoirdupois ounces into whole groups of 16; display the remaining ounces. The input is weight ounces, not fluid ounces. Remainders round to two decimal places, carrying to the next pound when necessary. Pounds and ounces are avoirdupois weight, with 16 ounces per pound and 14 pounds per stone. Fluid ounces and troy weights are different units. Decimal quantity arithmetic uses the entered values before display rounding. Quantities use up to six decimal places; smaller nonzero results use scientific notation. Currency uses the selected currency’s minor unit. Inputs and numeric results are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991.
