Gigahertz to Cycles per second Converter
1 gigahertz (GHz) equals 1,000,000,000 cycles per second (cps).
Quick answer
- 1 gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 cycles per second
- 1 cycle per second = 1 × 10-9 gigahertz
- Formula: cps = GHz × 1,000,000,000
1 gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 cycles per second
How to convert gigahertz to cycles per second
cps = GHz × 1,000,000,000
To convert gigahertz to cycles per second, multiply the number of gigahertz by 1,000,000,000.
Example: 10 GHz to cps
- Start with the value in gigahertz: 10 GHz.
- Multiply by 1,000,000,000: 10 × 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000.
- Result: 10 gigahertz = 10,000,000,000 cycles per second.
Going the other way, 1 cycle per second = 1 × 10-9 gigahertz, so to convert cycles per second back to gigahertz you divide by the same number. See cycles per second to gigahertz.

What is a gigahertz?
The gigahertz is a billion hertz, the unit of modern processor clock speeds, Wi-Fi, 5G and microwave ovens.
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).
