The below method is very inaccurate. It could only suit the purpose of a interger conversions. A much better (faster, smaller and far mor accurate) method could be used using floating point instructions, but im very rusty on these. 

mov eax,kilograms
mov edx,453
mul edx
mov ecx,1000
div ecx

eax = the number of pounds
edx = the remainder ( edx pounds)
                      1000
for reverse: 

mov eax,pounds
mov edx,1000
mul eax
mov ecx,453
div ecx

eax = the number of kg
edx = the remainder ( edx kg)
                      453
Floating point code would look something like this: 


finit
fld kilograms
fmul 0.453
fst pounds
