Convert GHz to kHz

Interactive gigahertz to kilohertz conversion tool

The GHz to kHz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert gigahertz to kilohertz. Simply enter the number of gigahertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in kilohertz.

What is the conversion factor between gigahertz and kilohertz?

A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.

The relationship between gigahertz and kilohertz is 1e+6, such as:

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1e+6 kilohertz for every gigahertz, and for every kilohertz, there are 11e+6 gigahertz (1e-6 GHz).

To convert from gigahertz to kilohertz, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.

Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.

Because we are converting from gigahertz to kilohertz, we will use the first fraction: 1e+6 kHz1 GHz so that gigahertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in gigahertz by this fraction to get the result in kilohertz (see example).

Note that GHz is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).

You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from GHz to kHz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from gigahertz to kilohertz is:

Which is bigger, a gigahertz or a kilohertz?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a gigahertz or an kilohertz. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

• 1 GHz = 1e+6 kHz
• 1e+6 kilohertz is bigger than 1 kilohertz.
• 1 gigahertz is, therefore, bigger than 1 kilohertz.
• To be more specific, a kilohertz is 1e+6 times smaller than a gigahertz.

How to convert gigahertz to kilohertz?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

• 23 x 1 = 23
• 319 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 319

Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.

For example, if we want to convert 0.01 gigahertz into kilohertz we multiply 0.01 GHz by the conversion factor of 1e+6 kHz1 GHz

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, gigahertz are canceled out and we get the result in kilohertz. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.

Based on this, we can conclude that 0.01 gigahertz are equal to 10000 kilohertz.

Remember:

• When converting from gigahertz to kilohertz, we use 1e+6 kHz1 GHz as a conversion factor.

Try answering the following questions without using our custom conversion calculator. Knowing how to convert manually between gigahertz and kilohertz could prove to be useful, so give it a shot. Once you are confident you can convert gigahertz to kilohertz, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.

How to convert 30 gigahertz to kilohertz?

We multiply 30 by the factor of 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for gigahertz to kilohertz

We multiply 30 gigahertz by the conversion factor. Having gigahertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (GHz) leaving only kilohertz in the final result.

Answer: There are 3e+7 kilohertz in 30 gigahertz

How many kilohertz are in 675 gigahertz?

Multiply 675 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (GHz) is in the denominator.

This allows us to cancel out the gigahertz (GHz) and leave the kilohertz (kHz)

Answer: There are 6.75e+8 kilohertz in 675 gigahertz
