- 1). Enter the foot-pound value into the calculator. Double-check the display to ensure that the value is correct.
- 2). Multiply the foot-pound value by 12, the conversion factor for foot-pounds to inch-pounds. The result is the foot-pound value expressed in inch-pounds. For example, 20 foot-pounds is equivalent to 240 inch-pounds because 12 x 20 = 240.
- 3). Identify the units used by adding the symbol for inch-pounds to the result. For example, write the example result from the previous step as "240 in lb."
