A newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram at one meter per second squared — small enough that everyday forces (like the weight of an apple, roughly 1 N) are convenient to express in it. Pound-force and kilogram-force are older "gravitational" units, defined by how much a standard mass weighs under standard gravity, which is why their factors involve the constant 9.80665.
