To convert a measurement in smidgens to a measurement in cups, divide the salt volume by the following conversion ratio: 1,536 smidgens/cup.

Since one cup of salt is equal to 1,536 smidgens, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = smidgens ÷ 1,536

The salt volume in cups is equal to the salt volume in smidgens divided by 1,536.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 smidgens to cups using the formula above.
cups = (5,000 smidgens ÷ 1,536) = 3.255208 c
