Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between hertz and kilohertz.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
A hertz is a unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for hertz is Hz. There are 1,000 hertz in a kilohertz.
What is a kilohertz (kHz)?
A kilohertz is a unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for kilohertz is kHz. There are 0.001 kilohertz in a hertz.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from Hz to kHz is:
kHz = Hz ÷ 1,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from hertz to kilohertz (Hz to kHz).
Hertz to Kilohertz Conversion Example
Task: Convert 475 hertz to kilohertz (show work) Formula: Hz ÷ 1,000 = kHz Calculations: 475 Hz ÷ 1,000 = 0.475 kHz Result: 475 Hz is equal to 0.475 kHz
