Maximum takeoff weight edit

Hello. Sorry I'm not much of a wikipedia editor so I thought I'd note down the error I spotted. In the Specification section for the 787-10 the MTOW is listed as "560,000 lb / 250,000 kg". But 560,000 lb would be 254,000 kg. So one of the figures is presumably wrong? TakeFlight (talk) 21:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

TakeFlight The weight in pounds is converted to kilograms using Template:Convert, which by default returns the converted value with the same number of significant figures as is used in the initial value. "560,000 lb" has two significant figures, thus the template returns "250,000 kg" which is rounded to include the same number of significant figures. - ZLEA T\C 21:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
