Frequency Converter

Convert between Hz, kHz, MHz, and GHz.

Free to use, no sign-up required. Frequency Converter is one of 198 tools built into Xenition, alongside a chat that can use them for you.

Converts frequency between hertz, kilohertz, megahertz and gigahertz, and to and from revolutions per minute. Useful for radio and Wi-Fi bands, processor clock speeds, audio, and motor or engine speeds.

How to use Frequency Converter

  1. Enter the frequency in the left box.
  2. Choose its unit — it starts on MHz.
  3. Choose the target unit — it starts on GHz.
  4. Read the result in the highlighted box.

How it works

Every unit is stored in hertz, cycles per second. kHz, MHz and GHz are decimal steps of 1,000. rpm counts turns per minute, so 1 rpm is 1/60 Hz.

Example

An engine or motor at 3,000 rpm is turning at 50 Hz. The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band is 2,400 MHz.

Questions about Frequency Converter

How do I convert rpm to Hz?

Divide by 60, because rpm is per minute and Hz is per second. 1,800 rpm is 30 Hz; 60 Hz is 3,600 rpm.

Does a higher GHz processor always run faster?

Not always. GHz is the clock rate, how many cycles per second. How much work a chip does per cycle and how many cores it has matter just as much, so a newer chip at a lower GHz can be faster.

Units and conversion factors

Frequency Converter converts between 5 units: rpm, Hz, kHz, MHz and GHz. Factors are given against Hz.

Common questions

How many rpm are in 1 Hz?

1 Hz is 60 rpm. To convert Hz to rpm, divide by 0.0166666667 — so 10 Hz is 600 rpm.

How many Hz are in 1 rpm?

1 rpm is 0.0166666667 Hz. To convert rpm to Hz, multiply by 0.0166666667 — so 10 rpm is 0.1666666667 Hz.

How many kHz are in 1 Hz?

1 Hz is 0.001 kHz. To convert Hz to kHz, divide by 1000 — so 10 Hz is 0.01 kHz.

How many Hz are in 1 kHz?

1 kHz is 1000 Hz. To convert kHz to Hz, multiply by 1000 — so 10 kHz is 10000 Hz.

How many MHz are in 1 Hz?

1 Hz is 0.000001 MHz. To convert Hz to MHz, divide by 1000000 — so 10 Hz is 0.00001 MHz.

How many Hz are in 1 MHz?

1 MHz is 1000000 Hz. To convert MHz to Hz, multiply by 1000000 — so 10 MHz is 10000000 Hz.

How many GHz are in 1 Hz?

1 Hz is 0.000000001 GHz. To convert Hz to GHz, divide by 1000000000 — so 10 Hz is 0.00000001 GHz.

How many Hz are in 1 GHz?

1 GHz is 1000000000 Hz. To convert GHz to Hz, multiply by 1000000000 — so 10 GHz is 10000000000 Hz.

Use it from chat

You do not have to open Frequency Converter to use it. Ask Xenition in plain language and it runs the right tool, then carries the answer into whatever you are working on — a document, a spreadsheet, a deck.
