Answer #1

BMI = m / h2

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is just simple conversion

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

1 m = 39.3701 inches

so,

The factor 703 comes from

39.37012 /  2.20462 = 703

--------------------------------------------------------------------

mmin = BMImin * h2

mmin = 25 * 1.892

mmin = 89.3 Kg

and

mmax = 30 * 1.889762

mmax = 107.1 Kg
