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
- Take the measurement in cycles per second
- Divide that number by 1,000
- 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
