A cup is a measure of volume. A kilogram is a unit of weight.
It depends what you are measuring out as to how many cups it will take to weigh 1 kg.
e.g. It will obviously take fewer cups to measure out 10 kgs of molten lead then, say... 10 kg of rice-crispies.

You can't convert cups to kilograms without knowing what material you're converting. Kilograms are a unit of mass (like weight, more or less...pounds, for example), and cups of volume.
So for water, for example, the density of water is 1 kilogram per liter, and there are 236 (I think) milliliters in a cup, giving you about 4.2 cups of water for a kilo of water. Flour and butter are different because they have different densities.

Cups are a measure of volume kilograms are weight. ( technically of mass ) so there really is no conversion without knowing what you are measuring but I will try to help.
A cup of flour is about 250 grams
A cup of butter or shortening is about 210 grams

Thank you Elliot M for your answer, it sounds about right. I am on dialysis and no one seems to come close to your answer.
