Cycles per second to Hertz Converter

1 cycle per second (cps) equals 1 hertz (Hz).

Quick answer

  • 1 cycle per second = 1 hertz
  • 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second
  • Formula: Hz = cps × 1

1 cycle per second = 1 hertz

How to convert cycles per second to hertz

Hz = cps × 1

To convert cycles per second to hertz, multiply the number of cycles per second by 1.

Example: 10 cps to Hz

  1. Start with the value in cycles per second: 10 cps.
  2. Multiply by 1: 10 × 1 = 10.
  3. Result: 10 cycles per second = 10 hertz.

Going the other way, 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second, so to convert hertz back to cycles per second you divide by the same number. See hertz to cycles per second.

What is a cycle per second?

Cycles per second was the name for the hertz before the SI adopted "hertz" in 1960; older radio and electronics books use cps and kc (kilocycles).
