How to convert newtons to kilogram-forces
To convert newtons (N) to kilogram-forces (kgf), divide the value in newtons by 9.80665.
kgf = N ÷ 9.80665
Example: 10 N = 1.019716213 kgf.
You can also type 10 N to kgf into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 N + 1 kgf.

About the units
Newton (N)
The SI unit of force: 1 kg·m/s².
Kilogram-force (kgf)
The force of gravity on one kilogram at standard gravity: exactly 9.80665 newtons.
Force changes the motion of a mass. The SI unit is the newton: the force that accelerates one kilogram by one meter per second squared.
