Formula

How to convert Hertz to Megahertz

To convert hertz to megahertz, multiply by 0.000001. One hertz equals 0.000001 MHz, and one megahertz equals 1,000,000 Hz.

  1. Take the value in hertz — for example 7.5 Hz.
  2. Multiply by 0.000001 (the number of megahertz in one hertz).
  3. 7.5 × 0.000001 = 0.0000075 MHz.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 6 places to the left.

About converting Hertz to Megahertz

Hertz (Hz) and Megahertz (MHz) are both units of frequency. The exact factor is 1 Hz = 0.000001 MHz, so multiply by 0.000001 to go from hertz to megahertz (or divide to go back).

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

The units

Hertz (Hz)

The SI unit of frequency: one cycle per second.

Used for: Sound, mains electricity and displays.

Megahertz (MHz)

1,000,000 hertz.

Used for: FM radio and older processors.

Hertz prefixes are exact powers of ten.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many megahertz are in one hertz?
One hertz equals 0.000001 megahertz.
How do I convert hertz to megahertz?
Multiply the number of hertz by 0.000001. For example, 10 hertz = 0.00001 megahertz.
What is 5 hertz in megahertz?
5 hertz is 0.000005 megahertz.
Is a hertz bigger than a megahertz?
No. One hertz is 0.000001 of a megahertz — it takes 1,000,000 hertz to make one megahertz.
How many megahertz is the upper limit of human hearing?
The upper limit of human hearing is about 0.02 megahertz (about 20,000 hertz).
