Converting 134 pounds gives 60.78137758 kg. One multiplication does it — 134 × 0.45359237 = 60.78137758 kilograms — and because the factor is defined rather than measured, that answer will not drift over time.
At 60.7814 kg, BMI works out to 23.7 at 1.60 m, 21 at 1.70 m, 18.8 at 1.80 m and 16.8 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 0.7814 kg past 60 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 60 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 0.45359237. At 134 that shortcut gives 60.909091 kilograms, off by 0.1277 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
