How it works

Torque = force × lever arm. SI base is N·m. 1 lb·ft ≈ 1.356 N·m.

Example

200 N·m ≈ 147.5 lb·ft.

Quick answers

Short, sourced answers to the questions people (and AI assistants) ask most.

What is Torque?
A torque converter changes a turning force between newton-metres, pound-feet and kilogram-force metres.
Why does Torque matter?
The same turning force in your target unit.
How is Torque calculated?
Each value is converted through newton-metres (the SI unit) and then to your chosen unit. Formula: 1 lbf-ft = 1.35582 N-m; 1 kgf-m = 9.80665 N-m; 1 lbf-in = 0.112985 N-m.
What are common torque mistakes?
Confusing pound-feet (lbf-ft) with pound-inches (lbf-in) - a factor of 12.
When should you use the Torque Converter?
Use it for engine specs, bolt tightening torque, and mechanical work.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Confusing pound-feet (lbf-ft) with pound-inches (lbf-in) - a factor of 12.
  • Mixing torque with energy (both use N-m but mean different things).
  • Ignoring the direction/sign of the torque.

I built a free fraction calculator that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick fraction calculator and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard fraction use cases (fraction, math) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
