Formula

How to convert Kilohertz to Megahertz

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

  1. Take the value in kilohertz — for example 7.5 kHz.
  2. Multiply by 0.001 (the number of megahertz in one kilohertz).
  3. 7.5 × 0.001 = 0.0075 MHz.

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

About converting Kilohertz to Megahertz

Kilohertz (kHz) and Megahertz (MHz) are both units of frequency. The exact factor is 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz, so multiply by 0.001 to go from kilohertz to megahertz (or divide to go back).

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

Hertz prefixes are exact powers of ten.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many megahertz are in one kilohertz?
One kilohertz equals 0.001 megahertz.
How do I convert kilohertz to megahertz?
Multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.001. For example, 10 kilohertz = 0.01 megahertz.
What is 5 kilohertz in megahertz?
5 kilohertz is 0.005 megahertz.
Is a kilohertz bigger than a megahertz?
No. One kilohertz is 0.001 of a megahertz — it takes 1,000 kilohertz to make one megahertz.
How many megahertz is FM radio?
FM radio is 100 megahertz (100,000 kilohertz).
