How to Convert Microseconds to Milliseconds
To convert from microseconds (µs) to milliseconds (ms), you divide the number of microseconds by 1,000. This is because 1 millisecond is equal to 1,000 microseconds.
Formula
Milliseconds = Microseconds ÷ 1,000
or
ms = µs ÷ 1,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in microseconds
- Divide that number by 1,000
- The result is the equivalent time in milliseconds
Examples
- 1000 µs = 1000 ÷ 1,000 = 1 ms
- 2000 µs = 2000 ÷ 1,000 = 2 ms
Frequently Asked Questions
