Convert Kilohertz to Gigahertz
kHz to GHz · frequency conversion
What are kilohertz and gigahertz?
A kilohertz is 1,000 hertz, used for audio and radio frequencies. A gigahertz is one billion hertz, typical for modern CPU and Wi-Fi frequencies. For reference: human hearing spans about 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and Wi-Fi runs at 2.4–5 GHz.
How to convert kilohertz to gigahertz
1 kHz = 0.000001 GHz. To convert, multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.000001. For example, 5 kHz = 0.000005 GHz, and 20 kHz = 0.00002 GHz. To go the other way, multiply gigahertz by 1,000,000 (since 1 GHz = 1,000,000 kHz).

FAQ
What is 1 kHz in GHz?
1 kHz = 0.000001 GHz. To convert any amount, multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.000001.
How do I convert gigahertz back to kilohertz?
Go the other way: 1 GHz = 1,000,000 kHz, so multiply gigahertz by 1,000,000 to get kilohertz.
Is a kilohertz bigger than a gigahertz?
No — 1 kHz is the smaller unit, equal to 0.000001 GHz (it takes 1,000,000 kHz to make one GHz).
Are these frequency conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
