Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
MHz = kHz × 0.001
Multiply any value in kilohertz by 0.001 to obtain the value in megahertz.
Worked example
Convert 1000 kHz to MHz.
- 01Start with 1000 kHz.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 MHz.
Result1000 kHz = 1 MHz

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kHz to MHz?
1 kHz equals 0.001 MHz. To convert, multiply the value in kilohertz by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 kHz to MHz?
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert MHz back to kHz?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 MHz = 1000 kHz.
When would I need to convert kilohertz to megahertz?
Frequency conversions between kHz and MHz 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).
