How to convert Hertz to Gigahertz
To convert hertz to gigahertz, multiply by 1 × 10⁻⁹. One hertz equals 1 × 10⁻⁹ GHz, and one gigahertz equals 1,000,000,000 Hz.
- Take the value in hertz — for example 7.5 Hz.
- Multiply by 1 × 10⁻⁹ (the number of gigahertz in one hertz).
- 7.5 × 1 × 10⁻⁹ = 7.5 × 10⁻⁹ GHz.
Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 9 places to the left.

About converting Hertz to Gigahertz
Hertz (Hz) and Gigahertz (GHz) are both units of frequency. The exact factor is 1 Hz = 1 × 10⁻⁹ GHz, so multiply by 1 × 10⁻⁹ to go from hertz to gigahertz (or divide to go back).
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Gigahertz to Hertz converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.
