Remember:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equal measurements, so it equals 1.
Common customary facts: 12 in = 1 ft, 3 ft = 1 yd, 5,280 ft = 1 mi, 16 oz = 1 lb.
Capacity: 2 cups = 1 pint, 2 pints = 1 quart, 4 quarts = 1 gallon (16 cups).
Metric conversions use powers of 10, such as 1,000 m = 1 km.
For multi-step conversions, chain factors or use a ratio table.
