Answer is: - 195,85°C and - 320,53F.

1) The temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature in Kelvin (K) minus 273.15:

T (°C) = T (K) - 273.15 = 77,3K - 273,15 = - 195,85°C.

2) The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature in Kelvin (K) times 9/5, minus 459.67:

T (°F) = T (K) · 9/5 - 459.67 = 77,3K · 1,8 - 459,67 = - 320,53°F.
