How to Convert Gigahertz to Cycles per Second
To convert gigahertz to cycles per second (cps), multiply the number of gigahertz by 1,000,000,000. This is because 1 gigahertz is equal to 1,000,000,000 hertz, and 1 hertz is equal to 1 cycle per second.
Formula
Cycles per Second = Gigahertz × 1,000,000,000
or
cps = GHz × 1e9
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in gigahertz
- Multiply that number by 1,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent frequency in cycles per second
Examples
- 1 GHz = 1 × 1e9 = 1,000,000,000 cps
- 5 GHz = 5 × 1e9 = 5,000,000,000 cps
- 10 GHz = 10 × 1e9 = 10,000,000,000 cps
