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

  1. Take the measurement in hertz
  2. Divide that number by 1,000
  3. 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
