the outside numbers are pounds per square inch

the inside are kilopascal, both are units of pressure.

1 lb per sq in. equals 6.895 kPa

basically one is standard one is metric.

your formula doesnt work, you may as well throw a dart at a dart board, see where it lands to calculate compression ratio, it would be just as accurate.
