Kilohertz to Megahertz Converter
One Kilohertz equals 0.001 Megahertz (1 kHz = 0.001 MHz). Multiply a Kilohertz value by 0.001 to get the equivalent in Megahertz. Enter your value in the calculator above. The formula and examples below show how to calculate it by hand.
Formula
MHz = kHz × 0.001

How to Convert Manually
Use these steps to convert Kilohertz values to Megahertz without the calculator.
- Write down the value in Kilohertz (kHz) that you want to convert.
- Multiply that value by 0.001.
- For example, 10 Kilohertz × 0.001 = 0.01 Megahertz.
- Label the result as Megahertz (MHz).

About Kilohertz and Megahertz
The kilohertz is 1,000 hertz. AM radio frequencies, audio sample rates (44.1 kHz), and ultrasound run in the kilohertz range. The megahertz is one million hertz. FM radio (87.5–108 MHz), older CPU clocks, and RAM speeds are quoted in megahertz. One Kilohertz equals 0.001 Megahertz (1 kHz = 0.001 MHz). Kilohertz is used in AM radio tuning and in audio sample rates. Megahertz is used in FM radio frequencies.
Precision and Rounding:Frequency conversions are exact decimal shifts except rpm and rps, which involve the factor 60. Audio and radio work round to convenient figures; clock signals, tuning, and rotating machinery balancing need the unrounded value.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
Worked Example
