The MOD operator will give you the remainder after division (for example "10 MOD 3 = 1"). The Int() function will return a number with no fraction. So in your case you could use
x = YourEquation Pounds = Int(x) Ounces = (x MOD 1)/16 You could probably do all of that in one line, but it would be messy - multiple lines of smaller chunks will make it easier to read.
