Formula

How to convert Megahertz to Hertz

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

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

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

About converting Megahertz to Hertz

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

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

Real-world frequency in megahertz and hertz

ExampleMegahertzHertz
Concert pitch A4 (ISO 16)0.00044 MHz440 Hz

“≈” marks typical values; the rest are defined or measured figures.

The units

Megahertz (MHz)

1,000,000 hertz.

Used for: FM radio and older processors.

Hertz (Hz)

The SI unit of frequency: one cycle per second.

Used for: Sound, mains electricity and displays.

Hertz prefixes are exact powers of ten.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many hertz are in one megahertz?
One megahertz equals 1,000,000 hertz.
How do I convert megahertz to hertz?
Multiply the number of megahertz by 1,000,000. For example, 10 megahertz = 10,000,000 hertz.
What is 5 megahertz in hertz?
5 megahertz is 5,000,000 hertz.
Is a megahertz bigger than a hertz?
Yes. One megahertz equals 1,000,000 hertz, so it is 1,000,000 times larger.
How many hertz is the upper limit of human hearing?
The upper limit of human hearing is about 20,000 hertz (about 0.02 megahertz).
