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

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