pro tips
Divide by 6.35: 63.5 kg is 10 stone. The number every UK scale secretly runs on.
One stone is 14 pounds, which is the other way Britain confesses its age.
A 20 kg suitcase is 3.15 stone — under the limit, over the stress.
what it does
One kilogram is 0.157 stone. Multiply kilos by 0.157 and the stones appear — or, more usefully, divide kilos by 6.35, because that's how many kilograms fit in a single British stone.
It shows up in the only country still weighing people in stones: a gym app reading 80 kg while the mirror and the doctor's office think in stone, a suitcase that has to pass a 20 kg limit quoted in stones by an airline that can't decide, and every diet plan that reports progress in a unit nobody outside the UK recognizes.
The shortcut is blunt but works: 6.35 kg to a stone, so 63.5 kg is 10 stone, 70 kg is about 11, and 95 kg is roughly 15. Above that, the numbers stop flattering anyone and the units are the least of your problems.

quick answers
How many kilograms are in a stone?
6.35. That's 14 pounds, because Britain measures body weight in both and apologizes for neither.
Why do Brits use stones?
Habit and polite self-deception: "lost a stone" sounds gentler than "lost 6.35 kg".
Is 10 stone a healthy weight?
That's 63.5 kg, which is a normal weight for plenty of adults and none of your business. Check with a professional, not a converter.
