Easiest way for me to remember is to multiply NM by 0.737 to get lb-ft (or divide by vice versa).

Close, but no cigar. 0.746kW = 1 HP

Default 1 horsepower (electric) = 0.745999999999999996 kilowatt
1 horsepower (550ft*lbf/s) = 0.745699899999999971 kilowatts

1 horsepower (boiler) = 9.809499999999999886 kilowatts

1 horsepower (metric) = 0.735499000000000014 kilwatts

1 horsepower (water) = 0.746043000000000012 kilowatts

I haven't the faintest what some of those are, but I have a nice little <a href="http://www.fifthwave.com/products/convert.htm">conversion program</a> for [Mac OS X].

Default 1.355817999999999968 NM doesn't fit on my calculator
Do you need a special calculator for numbers or numerals like these?

By the way it is Newton-meters, not nanometers

Default Oh, I was right the first time
I originally typed newtonmeters. But I went to this fifth wave website and saw nanometers. LMGotts posted the link to this fifth wave website.
