Pints to Tablespoons formula
Converting pints to tablespoons is a single multiplication by 32.
tbsp = pt × 32
Put another way, one pint is exactly 32 tablespoons.
Why this factor: the pint and the tablespoon are both defined against the liter, so dividing one definition by the other gives 32 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 32 — or use the Tablespoons to Pints converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example
Take 8 pt and multiply by the factor 32: the result is 256 tbsp.
8 pt × 32 = 256 tbsp
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.
