Kilohertz to Cycles per second Converter
1 kilohertz (kHz) equals 1,000 cycles per second (cps).
Quick answer
- 1 kilohertz = 1,000 cycles per second
- 1 cycle per second = 0.001 kilohertz
- Formula: cps = kHz × 1,000
1 kilohertz = 1,000 cycles per second
How to convert kilohertz to cycles per second
cps = kHz × 1,000
To convert kilohertz to cycles per second, multiply the number of kilohertz by 1,000.
Example: 10 kHz to cps
- Start with the value in kilohertz: 10 kHz.
- Multiply by 1,000: 10 × 1,000 = 10,000.
- Result: 10 kilohertz = 10,000 cycles per second.
Going the other way, 1 cycle per second = 0.001 kilohertz, so to convert cycles per second back to kilohertz you divide by the same number. See cycles per second to kilohertz.

What is a kilohertz?
The kilohertz is 1,000 hertz. It is used for audio (the upper limit of human hearing is about 20 kHz), AM radio (530–1,700 kHz in the Americas) and sampling rates (44.1 kHz CD audio).
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).
