Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
cycles/s = Hz × 1
Multiply any value in hertz by 1 to obtain the value in cycles per second.
Worked example
Convert 100 Hz to cycles/s.
- 01Start with 100 Hz.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 1 = 100 cycles/s.
Result100 Hz = 100 cycles/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from Hz to cycles/s?
1 Hz equals 1 cycles/s. To convert, multiply the value in hertz by 1.
How do I convert 1 Hz to cycles/s?
1 Hz = 1 cycles/s. For any value, multiply by 1.
How do I convert cycles/s back to Hz?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1. So 1 cycles/s = 1 Hz.
When would I need to convert hertz to cycle per second?
Frequency conversions between Hz and cycles/s 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).
