How to Convert Newtons to Kilogram-Force
To convert a measurement in newtons to a measurement in kilogram-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 0.101972 kilogram-force/newton.
Since one newton is equal to 0.101972 kilogram-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilogram-force = newtons × 0.101972
The force in kilogram-force is equal to the force in newtons multiplied by 0.101972.
How Many Kilogram-Force Are in a Newton?
There are 0.101972 kilogram-force in a newton, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 N = 0.101972 kgf
Newtons and kilogram-force are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Newton?
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgm / s2

What Is Kilogram-Force?
Kilogram-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared.
The kilogram-force is a non-SI metric unit for force. Kilogram-force is sometimes also referred to as a kilopond. Kilogram-force can be abbreviated as kgf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kgF. For example, 1 kilogram-force can be written as 1 kgf or 1 kgF.
Kilogram-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 kgf = 9.80665 kgm / s2
