Cycles per second to Kilohertz Converter
1 cycle per second (cps) equals 0.001 kilohertz (kHz).
Quick answer
- 1 cycle per second = 0.001 kilohertz
- 1 kilohertz = 1,000 cycles per second
- Formula: kHz = cps ÷ 1,000
1 cycle per second = 0.001 kilohertz
How to convert cycles per second to kilohertz
kHz = cps ÷ 1,000
To convert cycles per second to kilohertz, divide the number of cycles per second by 1,000.
Example: 10 cps to kHz
- Start with the value in cycles per second: 10 cps.
- Divide by 1,000: 10 ÷ 1,000 = 0.01.
- Result: 10 cycles per second = 0.01 kilohertz.
Going the other way, 1 kilohertz = 1,000 cycles per second, so to convert kilohertz back to cycles per second you multiply by the same number. See kilohertz 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).
What is a kilohertz?
The kilohertz is 1,000 hertz. It is used for audio (the upper limit of human hearing is about 20 kHz), AM radio (530–1,700 kHz in the Americas) and sampling rates (44.1 kHz CD audio).
