pro tips

16 oz per pound, 14 pounds per stone — the source of the 224.
what it does
One stone is 224 ounces. Multiply stones by 224 and the ounces appear, which is how a British weight becomes a number an ounce-scale can verify.
It shows up when a UK weight in stone has to be logged in ounces for a legacy system, when a butcher or grocer works in ounces but quotes stone for larger cuts, when a pet's weight is given in stone and recorded in ounces, and in any form that refuses the big unit.
The shortcut: 1 stone is 16 times 14, which is 224 ounces, so 10 stone is 2,240 ounces, and half a stone is 112 ounces. Multiplying by 224 in one go is fine, but going by 14 then 16 keeps the reasoning visible.
