How would I convert these into flow charts?

Temperature Conversion: "Allow the user to enter a series of temperatures in degrees Celsius (C) terminated by the input of -999. For each one, find the corresponding temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F). The conversion formula is: F = 9 * C/5 + 32 ".

Factorial: "Find the factorial of a number entered by user."
A factorial of any positive number "n" is the product of all integer values less than or equal to n. for example: 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
