kilograms is a mass and newtons is a force, but if your talking about the weight of something then you simply divide by the acceleration due to gravity (g=-9.81 m/s^2)
F=ma m=F/a >>> m=W/g
F: force
m: mass
a: acceleration
W: weight
A newton is actually a kg*m/s^2

Convert this to kilograms, then multiply with the gravity (9.82 meters per square second). The result will be in Newtons.Convert this to kilograms, then multiply with the gravity (9.82 meters per square second).

Newtons and kilograms really measure different things (force versus mass). But if you assume normal Earth gravity, each kilogram has a weight of 9.8 Newtons. In this case, you can convert newtons to kilograms, dividing by 9.8.
In the metric system (really called SI) weight is measured in units of newtons (lower case n to emphasize we are not talking about the scientist) and mass is in units of kilograms. W = mg (g =9.8) so weight in newtons equals mass in kilograms times 9.8.
On earth 62.0 kilograms is 607.6 newtons or 136lbs 11oz
