What is a dalton used for?

A dalton is used to express atomic and molecular masses, particularly in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular sciences.

Where is the UK hundredweight commonly used?

The UK hundredweight is used in British and Commonwealth commercial markets, shipping, freight, agriculture, and engineering.

Why does converting daltons to hundredweight result in very small numbers?

Because daltons measure atomic scale masses, converting to much larger bulk units like hundredweight yields extremely small decimal values.
