Hertz to Cycles per second Converter

1 hertz (Hz) equals 1 cycle per second (cps).

Quick answer

  • 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second
  • 1 cycle per second = 1 hertz
  • Formula: cps = Hz × 1

1 hertz = 1 cycle per second

How to convert hertz to cycles per second

cps = Hz × 1

To convert hertz to cycles per second, multiply the number of hertz by 1.

Example: 10 Hz to cps

  1. Start with the value in hertz: 10 Hz.
  2. Multiply by 1: 10 × 1 = 10.
  3. Result: 10 hertz = 10 cycles per second.

Going the other way, 1 cycle per second = 1 hertz, so to convert cycles per second back to hertz you divide by the same number. See cycles per second to hertz.

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).
