Put 14 stones into the exact factor of 6.35029318 and you get 88.90410452 kg. Written out: 14 × 6.35029318 = 88.90410452 kilograms, with no rounding applied until the final display.
At 88.9041 kg, BMI works out to 34.7 at 1.60 m, 30.8 at 1.70 m, 27.4 at 1.80 m and 24.6 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 1.096 kg short of 90 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 90 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 6.4 instead of using the exact factor 6.35029318. At 14 that shortcut gives 89.6 kilograms, off by 0.6959 kilograms or about 0.78%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
