Interactive kilohertz to terahertz conversion tool
The kHz to THz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert kilohertz to terahertz. Simply enter the number of kilohertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in terahertz.
What is the conversion factor between kilohertz and terahertz?
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 terahertz is 1e+9, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1e+9 kilohertz for every terahertz, and for every kilohertz, there are 11e+9 terahertz (1e-9 THz).
To convert from kilohertz to terahertz, 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 terahertz, we will use the first fraction: 1 THz1e+9 kHz so that kilohertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in kilohertz by this fraction to get the result in terahertz (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 THz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from kilohertz to terahertz is:
Which is bigger, a kilohertz or a terahertz?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a kilohertz or an terahertz. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 kHz = 11e+9 THz = 1e-9 THz
- 1e-9 terahertz is smaller than 1 terahertz.
- 1 kilohertz is, therefore, smaller than 1 terahertz.
- To be more specific, a terahertz is 1e+9 times bigger than a kilohertz.

How to convert kilohertz to terahertz?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 18 x 1 = 18
- 540 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 540
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 1e+10 kilohertz into terahertz we multiply 1e+10 kHz by the conversion factor of 1 THz1e+9 kHz
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, kilohertz are canceled out and we get the result in terahertz. 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 1e+10 kilohertz are equal to 10 terahertz.
Remember:
- When converting from kilohertz to terahertz, we use 1 THz1e+9 kHz as a conversion factor.

How to convert 20 kilohertz to terahertz?
We multiply 20 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for kilohertz to terahertz
We multiply 20 kilohertz by the conversion factor. Having kilohertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (kHz) leaving only terahertz in the final result.
Answer: There are 2e-8 terahertz in 20 kilohertz
How many terahertz are in 280 kilohertz?
Multiply 280 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 terahertz (THz)
Answer: There are 2.8e-7 terahertz in 280 kilohertz
terahertz to kilohertz conversion
- 1 THz = 1e+9 kHz
- To convert from terahertz to kilohertz use our THz 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
terahertz conversion
Convert from Terahertz (THz):
- Terahertz to gigahertz (THz to GHz)
1 THz = 1000 GHz - Terahertz to megahertz (THz to MHz)
1 THz = 1e+6 MHz - Terahertz to kilohertz (THz to kHz)
1 THz = 1e+9 kHz - Terahertz to hertz (THz to Hz)
1 THz = 1e+12 Hz
Convert to Terahertz (THz):
- Gigahertz to terahertz (GHz to THz)
1 GHz = 11000 THz = 0.001 THz - Megahertz to terahertz (MHz to THz)
1 MHz = 11e+6 THz = 1e-6 THz - Kilohertz to terahertz (kHz to THz)
1 kHz = 11e+9 THz = 1e-9 THz - Hertz to terahertz (Hz to THz)
1 Hz = 11e+12 THz = 1e-12 THz
