How to Convert Seconds to Milliseconds
To convert from seconds (s) to milliseconds (ms), you multiply the number of seconds by 1,000. This is because 1 second is equal to 1,000 milliseconds.
Formula
Milliseconds = Seconds × 1,000
or
ms = s × 1,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in seconds
- Multiply that number by 1,000
- The result is the equivalent time in milliseconds
Examples
- 1 s = 1 × 1,000 = 1,000 ms
- 2 s = 2 × 1,000 = 2,000 ms
