## Overview

The LB to Stone converter provides a quick and accurate way to transform weight measurements from pounds into the British stone unit. Users can input any weight in pounds and specify the desired decimal precision to receive a structured JSON output suitable for personal records or technical integration.

## Inputs

- **Pounds** (text): e.g. 28
- **Decimal Precision** (number)

## When to use

- Tracking body weight for fitness goals using UK-standard measurements.
- Converting shipping weights for logistics companies operating in the United Kingdom or Ireland.
- Standardizing weight data in datasets that mix imperial pounds and stone units.

## How it works

- Enter the weight value in pounds into the designated input field.
- Adjust the decimal precision to define how many decimal places the result should include.
- The tool calculates the stone equivalent by dividing the pounds by 14.
- View the final result in a clean JSON format containing both the original and converted values.

## Use cases

- Personal health tracking for individuals using British weight scales.
- E-commerce platforms calculating shipping costs for UK-bound parcels.
- Data analysts cleaning weight-related datasets for international research projects.
