How to Convert Hertz to Kilohertz
To convert hertz to kilohertz, divide the number of hertz by 1,000. This is because 1 kilohertz is equal to 1,000 hertz.
Formula
Kilohertz = Hertz ÷ 1,000
or
kHz = Hz ÷ 1,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in hertz
- Divide that number by 1,000
- The result is the equivalent frequency in kilohertz
Examples
- 5,000 Hz = 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = 5 kHz
- 20,000 Hz = 20,000 ÷ 1,000 = 20 kHz
- 100,000 Hz = 100,000 ÷ 1,000 = 100 kHz
