Actually, C and K are the same, except for the offset, so that's pretty simple.
My favorite process for going between C and F (and back) is the -40 rule. -40C = -40F. So, no matter what you start with, the three steps are:
1. Add 40
2. Convert units
3. Subtract 40
It is by far the easiest and it is exact. In the Midnight Oil song he says "The Western Desert lives and breathes at 45 degrees". Well that means nothing to me, so I add 40 (85), change units (85 * 9 / 5 = 17 * 9 = 153), subtract 40 is 113 degrees F. DAMN that's hot!
