How many kilohertz are in one gigahertz?

There are 1,000,000 kilohertz in 1 gigahertz.

How do you convert kilohertz to gigahertz?

Multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.000001 — or use the formula GHz = kHz ÷ 1,000,000.

What is 6 kilohertz in gigahertz?

6 kilohertz is 0.000006 gigahertz. 6 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000006 gigahertz.

Is the kilohertz to gigahertz conversion exact?

Yes. The relationship is fixed by definition, so 0.000001 is an exact conversion factor — only the displayed result is rounded.

Kilohertz to Gigahertz formula

GHz = kHz ÷ 1,000,000

The kilohertz to gigahertz conversion factor is 0.000001, which is exact by definition. 1 kilohertz = 0.000001 gigahertz, and 1 gigahertz = 1,000,000 kilohertz.

Worked examples

2 kilohertz = 0.000002 gigahertz — 2 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000002 gigahertz
6 kilohertz = 0.000006 gigahertz — 6 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000006 gigahertz
10 kilohertz = 0.00001 gigahertz — 10 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.00001 gigahertz

When you need to convert kilohertz to gigahertz

Comparing specifications written for a different market.
Checking a figure quoted in an unfamiliar unit before acting on it.
Converting values consistently across a spreadsheet, report or shopping list.

Common mistakes to avoid

Dividing when you should multiply. Because 1 kilohertz = 0.000001 gigahertz, the answer should be smaller than the number you started with.
Rounding too early. Convert first at full precision, then round the final answer to the precision the task actually needs.

How precise does the answer need to be?

Round only at the end, and only to the precision your task actually needs. The converter above keeps full double precision internally and rounds for display.

How these units are defined

Kilohertz (kHz): One thousand cycles per second. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
Gigahertz (GHz): One billion cycles per second; CPU and radio frequencies. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
