Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Brazilian real to pound exchange rate, and the Brazilian real buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Brazilian real to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Brazilian real in British pounds. For example, a Brazilian real to pound rate of 0.1667 means one Brazilian real is worth 0.1667 pounds.
In contrast, the Brazilian real buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Brazilian reais you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Brazilian real buyback rate of 6 means you'd have to exchange 6 Brazilian reais to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Brazilian real buyback rate instead of the Brazilian real to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Brazilian real comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Brazilian real to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Brazilian real buyback rate into the actual Brazilian real to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Brazilian real buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 6 = 0.1667.
