To convert 125 gallons into cups we have to multiply 125 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to cups. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 16 cup

125 gal → V_(cup)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cups:

V_(cup) = 125 gal × 16 cup

V_(cup) = 2000 cup

The final result is:
