Convert Newtons to Kilogram-force

Newtons → Kilogram-force
N × 0.1019716 = kgf kgf × 9.80665 = N

To convert newtons (N) to kilogram-force (kgf), multiply the newtons value by 0.1019716. 1 N = 0.1019716 kgf, and 1 kgf = 9.80665 N. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert kgf to N.
