I'm on lightroom mobile and I wanna switch from "K' which I believe is kelvin to -100 and 100 scale instead. If not, whats -4 in kelvin scale? I've tried using google's converter and got 273, which isn't on the scale.

The numbers are all over the map, pretty much ignore them. 

Adjust visually, not numerically. 

 

CCT (Kelvin) is a range, a large range of possible colors. YMMV:

Any color along line e-f is considered 5000KAny color along line e-f is considered 5000K

Further, every product will report differing values from the same data:

The Kelvin scale measures the colour temperature, which has nothing to do with temperature in the traditional section. 

Daylight is 5500 Kelvin (though Lightroom has an internal scale which is different than camera makers), Tungsten is around 3300k. Raw files use this scale as it gives greater and more accurate control using the sensor data. The -100/+100 scale is for rendered files and will actually reduce quality on export as you're manipulating pixel
