How to use it
- Type the value in the megahertz box.
- Read the result in kilohertz as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
kHz = MHz × 1,000
Multiply the value in megahertz by 1,000 to get kilohertz.
Example
To convert 25 MHz to kilohertz: 25 × 1,000 = 25,000 kHz.

About the units
- Megahertz
- A megahertz is exactly one million hertz, used for FM radio, memory speeds and older processors.
- Kilohertz
- A kilohertz is exactly 1000 hertz, used for audio frequencies and AM radio stations.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many kilohertz are in one megahertz?
1 MHz = 1,000 kHz exactly.
How do I convert megahertz to kilohertz?
Use kHz = MHz × 1,000. For example, 25 MHz = 25,000 kHz.
How many megahertz are in one kilohertz?
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz.
How many hertz is a 3.5 GHz processor?
3.5 GHz is 3500 MHz or 3.5 billion hertz, so the processor clock ticks 3.5 billion times per second. Clock speed alone does not decide performance; core count and design matter too.
How do I convert BPM to hertz?
Divide beats per minute by 60, so a tempo of 120 BPM is 2 Hz, two beats per second. The same works for heart rate: 72 beats per minute is 1.2 Hz.
