The conversion factor from pints to cups is 2, which means that 1 pint is equal to 2 cups:

1 pt = 2 cup

To convert 500 pints into cups we have to multiply 500 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from pints to cups. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 pt → 2 cup

500 pt → V_(cup)

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

V_(cup) = 500 pt × 2 cup

V_(cup) = 1000 cup

The final result is:

500 pt → 1000 cup

We conclude that 500 pints is equivalent to 1000 cups:

500 pints = 1000 cups
