Formula

How to convert Megahertz to Kilohertz

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

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

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

About converting Megahertz to Kilohertz

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

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

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many kilohertz are in one megahertz?
One megahertz equals 1,000 kilohertz.
How do I convert megahertz to kilohertz?
Multiply the number of megahertz by 1,000. For example, 10 megahertz = 10,000 kilohertz.
What is 5 megahertz in kilohertz?
5 megahertz is 5,000 kilohertz.
Is a megahertz bigger than a kilohertz?
Yes. One megahertz equals 1,000 kilohertz, so it is 1,000 times larger.
How many kilohertz is FM radio?
FM radio is 100,000 kilohertz (100 megahertz).
