How to Convert Cycles per Second to Kilohertz

To convert cycles per second (cps) to kilohertz (kHz), divide the number of cycles per second by 1,000. This is because 1 kilohertz is equal to 1,000 hertz, and 1 hertz is equal to 1 cycle per second.

Formula

Kilohertz = Cycles per Second ÷ 1,000

or

kHz = cps ÷ 1,000

Step-by-step process

  1. Take the measurement in cycles per second
  2. Divide that number by 1,000
  3. The result is the equivalent frequency in kilohertz

Examples

  • 5,000 cps = 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = 5 kHz
  • 20,000 cps = 20,000 ÷ 1,000 = 20 kHz
  • 100,000 cps = 100,000 ÷ 1,000 = 100 kHz
