How It Works

Frequency Converter

Conversion Factors from Hertz

  • Kilohertz: Hz / 1,000
  • Megahertz: Hz / 1,000,000
  • Gigahertz: Hz / 1,000,000,000
  • RPM: Hz × 60

    • Worked Example

    Convert 1,000,000 Hz to other frequency units.

    value = 1000000
    1. 01kHz = 1000000 / 1000 = 1000 kHz
    2. 02MHz = 1000000 / 1000000 = 1 MHz
    3. 03GHz = 1000000 / 1000000000 = 0.001 GHz
    4. 04RPM = 1000000 × 60 = 60000000 RPM
