How it works
A US cup is 236.588 mL, so converting millilitres to cups means dividing by that figure. Note that a metric cup (used in some countries) is 250 mL.
cups = mL ÷ 236.588
1 US cup = 236.588 mL = 8 fl oz
1 US cup = 236.588 mL = 8 fl oz
Worked example
500 mL equals 500 ÷ 236.588 = 2.11 US cups.
