How it works

Enter the frequency value, then choose the current unit and the unit you want to convert to.
Example: 2.4 gigahertz equals exactly 2,400 megahertz.
Use the swap button to reverse the units without re-entering the value.
Hertz is the SI unit of frequency, while the larger units use exact decimal SI prefixes.
Each step between hertz, kilohertz, megahertz, gigahertz and terahertz is based on powers of 1,000, with no binary-prefix ambiguity.

How many hertz are in 1 kilohertz?

1 kilohertz equals exactly 1,000 hertz.

How many kilohertz are in 1 megahertz?

1 megahertz equals exactly 1,000 kilohertz.

How many megahertz are in 1 gigahertz?

1 gigahertz equals exactly 1,000 megahertz.

How many gigahertz are in 1 terahertz?

1 terahertz equals exactly 1,000 gigahertz.

What does 1 hertz mean?

Hertz is the SI unit of frequency and equals one periodic event per second.
