Code:

//
// Conversion - Program to convert temperature from
//              Fahrenheit degreees into Celcius:
//              Fahrenheit = Celcius  9/5 + 32 =
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;int main (int nNumberofargs, char* pszArgs [] )
{
  // enter the tempature in Fahrenheit
  int Fahrenheit;
  cout << "Enter the tepature in Fahrenheit:";
  cin >> Fahrenheit;
  // Use conversion factor for Fahrenheit
  // to Celcius
  int factor;
  factor = 5 + 32 ;
  // use conversion factor to convert Fahrenheit
  // into Celcius values
  int fahrenheit;
  fahrenheit = factor * Fahrenheit/5+32;
  // output the results (followed "by a Newline)
  cout << "Celcius value is:" ;
  cout >> celcius << endl;
  // wait until user is read before terminating program
  // to allow the user see the program results
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;

You will also not get very good results using integer math when doing the conversions. When all your values are integer values any fractional value is truncated. Example 1/2 will evaluate to zero, not .5. There are no fractions when using integer math. You should probably change your variables to a floating point type and insure all the constants are floating point by using a decimal point, example 1.0/2.0 would yield a floating point value (.5). I would suggest you use the type double.
