How many kilohertz are in one megahertz?

There are 1,000 kilohertz in 1 megahertz.

How do you convert kilohertz to megahertz?

Multiply the number of kilohertz by 0.001 — or use the formula MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000.

What is 6 kilohertz in megahertz?

6 kilohertz is 0.006 megahertz. 6 ÷ 1,000 = 0.006 megahertz.

Is the kilohertz to megahertz conversion exact?

Yes. The relationship is fixed by definition, so 0.001 is an exact conversion factor — only the displayed result is rounded.

Kilohertz to Megahertz formula

MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000

The kilohertz to megahertz conversion factor is 0.001, which is exact by definition. 1 kilohertz = 0.001 megahertz, and 1 megahertz = 1,000 kilohertz.

Worked examples

2 kilohertz = 0.002 megahertz — 2 ÷ 1,000 = 0.002 megahertz
6 kilohertz = 0.006 megahertz — 6 ÷ 1,000 = 0.006 megahertz
10 kilohertz = 0.01 megahertz — 10 ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 megahertz

When you need to convert kilohertz to megahertz

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 = 0.001 megahertz, 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.
Megahertz (MHz): One million cycles per second. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
