Interactive kilohertz to megahertz conversion tool
The kHz to MHz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert kilohertz to megahertz. Simply enter the number of kilohertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in megahertz.
What is the conversion factor between kilohertz 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 kilohertz and megahertz is 1000, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1000 kilohertz for every megahertz, and for every kilohertz, there are 11000 megahertz (0.001 MHz).
To convert from kilohertz to megahertz, 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 kilohertz to megahertz, we will use the first fraction: 1 MHz1000 kHz so that kilohertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in kilohertz by this fraction to get the result in megahertz (see example).
Note that kHz 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 kHz to MHz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from kilohertz to megahertz is:
Which is bigger, a kilohertz or a megahertz?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a kilohertz or an megahertz. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 kHz = 11000 MHz = 0.001 MHz
- 0.001 megahertz is smaller than 1 megahertz.
- 1 kilohertz is, therefore, smaller than 1 megahertz.
- To be more specific, a megahertz is 1000 times bigger than a kilohertz.

How to convert kilohertz 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:
- 61 x 1 = 61
- 435 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 435
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 10000 kilohertz into megahertz we multiply 10000 kHz by the conversion factor of 1 MHz1000 kHz
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, kilohertz 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 10000 kilohertz are equal to 10 megahertz.
Remember:
- When converting from kilohertz to megahertz, we use 1 MHz1000 kHz as a conversion factor.
Practice: kilohertz to megahertz conversion
Try answering the following questions without using our custom conversion calculator. Knowing how to convert manually between kilohertz and megahertz could prove to be useful, so give it a shot. Once you are confident you can convert kilohertz to megahertz, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.
How to convert 100 kilohertz to megahertz?
We multiply 100 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for kilohertz to megahertz
We multiply 100 kilohertz by the conversion factor. Having kilohertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (kHz) leaving only megahertz in the final result.
Answer: There are 0.1 megahertz in 100 kilohertz
How many megahertz are in 940 kilohertz?
Multiply 940 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (kHz) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the kilohertz (kHz) and leave the megahertz (MHz)
Answer: There are 0.94 megahertz in 940 kilohertz
megahertz to kilohertz conversion
- 1 MHz = 1000 kHz
- To convert from megahertz to kilohertz use our MHz to kHz converter
kilohertz conversion
Convert from Kilohertz (kHz):
- Kilohertz to terahertz (kHz to THz)
1 kHz = 11e+9 THz = 1e-9 THz - Kilohertz to gigahertz (kHz to GHz)
1 kHz = 11e+6 GHz = 1e-6 GHz - Kilohertz to megahertz (kHz to MHz)
1 kHz = 11000 MHz = 0.001 MHz - Kilohertz to hertz (kHz to Hz)
1 kHz = 1000 Hz
Convert to Kilohertz (kHz):
- Terahertz to kilohertz (THz to kHz)
1 THz = 1e+9 kHz - Gigahertz to kilohertz (GHz to kHz)
1 GHz = 1e+6 kHz - Megahertz to kilohertz (MHz to kHz)
1 MHz = 1000 kHz - Hertz to kilohertz (Hz to kHz)
1 Hz = 11000 kHz = 0.001 kHz
megahertz conversion
Convert from Megahertz (MHz):
- Megahertz to terahertz (MHz to THz)
1 MHz = 11e+6 THz = 1e-6 THz - Megahertz to gigahertz (MHz to GHz)
1 MHz = 11000 GHz = 0.001 GHz - Megahertz to kilohertz (MHz to kHz)
1 MHz = 1000 kHz - Megahertz to hertz (MHz to Hz)
1 MHz = 1e+6 Hz
Convert to Megahertz (MHz):
- Terahertz to megahertz (THz to MHz)
1 THz = 1e+6 MHz - Gigahertz to megahertz (GHz to MHz)
1 GHz = 1000 MHz - Kilohertz to megahertz (kHz to MHz)
1 kHz = 11000 MHz = 0.001 MHz - Hertz to megahertz (Hz to MHz)
1 Hz = 11e+6 MHz = 1e-6 MHz
