Conversion factor

The conversion factor is a fraction whose value is 1. Multiplying by it changes units, but not the quantity.

The conversion factor has denominator units that are the ones you don't want (ounces). The numerator units are the ones you do want (pounds). The numerator and denominator have equal values (1 lb = 16 oz).

`100\text{ oz}=100\text{ oz}*\frac{1\text{ lb}}{16\text{ oz}}=(100)/(16)\text{ lbs}\\\\=(96+4)/(16)\text{ lbs}=(96)/(16)\text{ lbs}+(4)/(16)\text{ lb}=\boxed{6(1)/(4)\text{ lbs}}`
