One pound of weight on Earth is equal to 454 grams, and 1,000 grams equal 1 kilogram. Thus, a kilogram on Earth is about 2.2 pounds, so 400 kilos = 880 lbs.

Note that a kilogram measures the amount of matter in an object, and pounds measure the amount of gravitational force on an object. So one kilogram on the Moon would weigh far less than 1 lb.

The above answer unnecessarily invokes the concept of weight of an object. A kilogram is a measure of mass as is a pound. A pound-weight is a measure of weight (although all too often it is also called a pound). A kilogram, as a measure of mass is always equal to a mass of 2.2046 pounds (rounded to 4 dp). Thus 400 kg = 881.85 pounds.
