How to convert Gigahertz to Megahertz

To convert gigahertz to megahertz, multiply by 1,000. One gigahertz equals 1,000 MHz, and one megahertz equals 0.001 GHz.

  1. Take the value in gigahertz — for example 7.5 GHz.
  2. Multiply by 1,000 (the number of megahertz in one gigahertz).
  3. 7.5 × 1,000 = 7,500 MHz.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 3 places to the right.

About converting Gigahertz to Megahertz

Gigahertz (GHz) and Megahertz (MHz) are both units of frequency. The exact factor is 1 GHz = 1,000 MHz, so multiply by 1,000 to go from gigahertz to megahertz (or divide to go back).

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Megahertz to Gigahertz converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many megahertz are in one gigahertz?
One gigahertz equals 1,000 megahertz.
How do I convert gigahertz to megahertz?
Multiply the number of gigahertz by 1,000. For example, 10 gigahertz = 10,000 megahertz.
What is 5 gigahertz in megahertz?
5 gigahertz is 5,000 megahertz.
Is a gigahertz bigger than a megahertz?
Yes. One gigahertz equals 1,000 megahertz, so it is 1,000 times larger.
How many megahertz is the upper limit of human hearing?
The upper limit of human hearing is about 0.02 megahertz (about 0.00002 gigahertz).
