How to Convert Picoseconds to Seconds
To convert from picoseconds (ps) to seconds (s), you divide the number of picoseconds by 1,000,000,000,000. This is because 1 second is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds.
Formula
Seconds = Picoseconds ÷ 1,000,000,000,000
or
s = ps ÷ 1,000,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in picoseconds
- Divide that number by 1,000,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent time in seconds
Examples
- 1,000,000,000,000 ps = 1 s
- 2,000,000,000,000 ps = 2 s
Frequently Asked Questions
