Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 370 pounds of buttermilk
- Convert pounds to grams: 370 × 453.59 = 167,829.18g
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 167,829.18g ÷ 245g/cup = 685.02 cups × 0.5 = 342.51 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
What is a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
