Formula
Formula
kHz = cycles/min × 1.666667e-5
Multiply any value in cycles per minute by 1.666667e-5 to obtain the value in kilohertz.
Worked example
Convert 60000 cycles/min to kHz.
- 01Start with 60000 cycles/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60000 × 1.666667e-5 = 1 kHz.
Result60000 cycles/min = 1 kHz

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from cycles/min to kHz?
1 cycles/min equals 1.666667e-5 kHz. To convert, multiply the value in cycles per minute by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert 1 cycles/min to kHz?
1 cycles/min = 1.66667e-5 kHz. For any value, multiply by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert kHz back to cycles/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60000. So 1 kHz = 60000 cycles/min.
When would I need to convert cycle per minute to kilohertz?
Frequency conversions between cycles/min and kHz are needed in signal and RF engineering, motor and turbomachinery rotational-speed work, vibration and pulse-rate analysis, and control-loop sample-rate specification. Hz dominates electronics and instrumentation; kHz, MHz and GHz cover audio through microwave; rpm and rps dominate mechanical rotational equipment; cycles per minute, second and hour cover slow industrial cyclic processes. Angular frequency (rad/s) and time-period (Hz ↔ seconds) conversions are NOT included — they require either a 2π factor or a reciprocal relationship.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
