Convert Hz to MHz

Interactive hertz to megahertz conversion tool

The Hz to MHz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert hertz to megahertz. Simply enter the number of hertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in megahertz.

What is the conversion factor between hertz and megahertz?

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 hertz and megahertz is 1e+6, such as:

1 MHz = 1e+6 Hz

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1e+6 hertz for every megahertz, and for every hertz, there are 11e+6 megahertz (1e-6 MHz).

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

1 MHz1e+6 Hz = 1e+6 Hz1 MHz= 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 hertz to megahertz, we will use the first fraction: 1 MHz1e+6 Hz so that hertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in hertz by this fraction to get the result in megahertz (see example).

Note that Hz 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).

Conversion factor = Unit you are converting toUnit you are converting from

You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from Hz to MHz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from hertz to megahertz is:

1 MHz1e+6 Hz

Which is bigger, a hertz or a megahertz?

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

1 Hz = 11e+6 MHz = 1e-6 MHz
1e-6 megahertz is smaller than 1 megahertz.
1 hertz is, therefore, smaller than 1 megahertz.
To be more specific, a megahertz is 1e+6 times bigger than a hertz.

How to convert hertz to megahertz?

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

For example:

28 x 1 = 28
648 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 648

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 1000 hertz into megahertz we multiply 1000 Hz by the conversion factor of 1 MHz1e+6 Hz

1000 Hz = 1000 Hz x 1 = 1000 Hz x 1 MHz1e+6 Hz = 0.001 MHz

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, hertz are canceled out and we get the result in megahertz. 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 1000 hertz are equal to 0.001 megahertz.

Remember:

When converting from hertz to megahertz, we use 1 MHz1e+6 Hz as a conversion factor.

Practice: hertz to megahertz conversion

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

How to convert 29 hertz to megahertz?

We multiply 29 by the factor of 1

29 Hz = 29 Hz x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for hertz to megahertz

29 Hz = 29 Hz x 1 MHz1e+6 Hz

We multiply 29 hertz by the conversion factor. Having hertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (Hz) leaving only megahertz in the final result.

29 Hz = 29 Hz x 1 MHz1e+6 Hz

29 Hz = 29 x 11e+6 MHz

29 Hz = 2.9e-5 MHz

Answer: There are 2.9e-5 megahertz in 29 hertz

How many megahertz are in 545 hertz?

Multiply 545 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (Hz) is in the denominator.

545 Hz = 545 Hz x 1 MHz1e+6 Hz

This allows us to cancel out the hertz (Hz) and leave the megahertz (MHz)

545 Hz = 545 Hz x 1 MHz1e+6 Hz

545 Hz = 545 x 11e+6 MHz

545 Hz = 0.000545 MHz

Answer: There are 0.000545 megahertz in 545 hertz
