Convert MHz to Hz

Interactive megahertz to hertz conversion tool

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

What is the conversion factor between megahertz and hertz?

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

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

Note that MHz 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 MHz to Hz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from megahertz to hertz is:

1e+6 Hz1 MHz

Which is bigger, a megahertz or a hertz?

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

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

How to convert megahertz to hertz?

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

For example:

27 x 1 = 27
644 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 644

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 0.1 megahertz into hertz we multiply 0.1 MHz by the conversion factor of 1e+6 Hz1 MHz

0.1 MHz = 0.1 MHz x 1 = 0.1 MHz x 1e+6 Hz1 MHz = 100000 Hz

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, megahertz are canceled out and we get the result in hertz. 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 0.1 megahertz are equal to 100000 hertz.

Remember:

When converting from megahertz to hertz, we use 1e+6 Hz1 MHz as a conversion factor.

Practice: megahertz to hertz conversion

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

How to convert 80 megahertz to hertz?

We multiply 80 by the factor of 1

80 MHz = 80 MHz x 1

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

80 MHz = 80 MHz x 1e+6 Hz1 MHz

We multiply 80 megahertz by the conversion factor. Having megahertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (MHz) leaving only hertz in the final result.

80 MHz = 80 MHz x 1e+6 Hz1 MHz

80 MHz = 80 x 1e+61 Hz

80 MHz = 8e+7 Hz

Answer: There are 8e+7 hertz in 80 megahertz

How many hertz are in 645 megahertz?

Multiply 645 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (MHz) is in the denominator.

645 MHz = 645 MHz x 1e+6 Hz1 MHz

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

645 MHz = 645 MHz x 1e+6 Hz1 MHz

645 MHz = 645 x 1e+61 Hz

645 MHz = 6.45e+8 Hz

Answer: There are 6.45e+8 hertz in 645 megahertz
