- Multiply by 0.001 to perform the conversion.
- The result is your value expressed in Megahertz (MHz).
Conversion Factor
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
Reverse Factor
1 MHz = 1000 kHz
Worked Example
Convert 25 Kilohertz to Megahertz: 25 kHz = 0.025 MHz
About Kilohertz (kHz)
A frequency unit equal to 1,000 Hz. Kilohertz is the native band for AM radio (530–1,700 kHz), audio sampling rates (44.1 kHz for CD audio, 48 kHz for video standard), ultrasound in medical imaging (up to 50 MHz), and low-frequency RF applications such as submarine communication and RFID. Audio engineers and radio designers work in kHz daily.
About Megahertz (MHz)
A frequency unit equal to 1,000,000 Hz. Megahertz is the dominant band for FM radio (88–108 MHz), VHF/UHF TV broadcasts, two-way radio, amateur radio bands, cellular baseband frequencies, and older microprocessor clock speeds (early Pentium: 60–200 MHz). Spectrum allocation by regulators (FCC, Ofcom, ETSI) is organized primarily in MHz bands.
