Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 125.16g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 187 cups of all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
  3. 187 × 125.16 = 23,404.92g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 23,404.92 ÷ 28.3495 = 825.58 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 825.58 oz, based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 125.16 (grams per cup for all-purpose flour), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 187 cups: 187 × 125.16 = 23,404.92g, then 23,404.92 ÷ 28.3495 = 825.58 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh all-purpose flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 125.16 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 137.68 to 156.45 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 825.58 oz × 28.3495 = 23,404.92g, then 23,404.92g ÷ 125.16 = 187 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
