1KG = 9.80665 NM

So,
30.2K gm X 9.80665 = 296.16083 X 0.73756 = 218.43638 lb ft.

Tabatha

However, the ultimate precision of the calculation can only be as good as the least precise number (30.2).

Anyway

1KG = 9.80665 N ... Newtons is a unit of Force

not

1KG = 9.80665 NM ... Newton Metres is a measurement of Torque.
