Formula: multiply cups by 16 to get tablespoons
How to convert cups to tablespoons
To convert cups to tablespoons, multiply the number of cups by 16. There are exactly 16 tablespoons in every US cup. For example, 2 cups × 16 = 32 tablespoons.
Going the other way, divide tablespoons by 16 to get cups. So 8 tablespoons ÷ 16 = ½ cup.
1 US cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fluid ounces = 236.588 ml. This conversion is essential when scaling recipes and when you need to measure larger quantities using a tablespoon.
