Default Calories per pound fat?

Can someone please remind me of how many calories equal a pound of fat?
Thanks!

9 cal/gram
454 gram/pound
4086 cal/pound

There's bound to be plenty of round-off in that 4086 number. Different
types of fat and different purities of fat will run it anywhere from
3000 to 4500 calories.

So I have to burn 3500 cals to drop one pound of fat?
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how this works.

You have to eat less than you burned, by 3500 calories, to lose 1
pound of fat.

I think I need to buy the book.
