Convert Kilohertz to Megahertz
kHz to MHz · frequency conversion
What are kilohertz and megahertz?
A kilohertz is 1,000 hertz, used for audio and radio frequencies. A megahertz is one million hertz, used for radio bands and processor clock speeds. 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 megahertz
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz. To convert, multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.001. For example, 5 kHz = 0.005 MHz, and 20 kHz = 0.02 MHz. To go the other way, multiply megahertz by 1,000 (since 1 MHz = 1,000 kHz).

FAQ
What is 1 kHz in MHz?
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz. To convert any amount, multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.001.
How do I convert megahertz back to kilohertz?
Go the other way: 1 MHz = 1,000 kHz, so multiply megahertz by 1,000 to get kilohertz.
Is a kilohertz bigger than a megahertz?
No — 1 kHz is the smaller unit, equal to 0.001 MHz (it takes 1,000 kHz to make one MHz).
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.
