How to convert grams to cups of flour
Formula: cup = g × 0.008
Worked example: 250 g → 250 × 0.008 = 2 cup
Divide grams by 125 to get cups of all-purpose flour. A European recipe calling for 500 g of flour needs 4 cups.

What is a gram?
Grams are the most reliable way to measure flour. A kitchen scale gives the same result whatever the scooping method, which is why bakers and most recipes outside the US weigh flour instead of using cups.
What is a cup of flour?
A US cup of all-purpose flour, spooned into the cup and leveled with a knife, weighs about 125 g. Scooping straight from the bag packs the flour and can add 20 to 30 g per cup, enough to make cakes dry.
