A kilohertz is a frequency unit equal to 1000 hertz.
Kilohertz became widely used as audio, radio, and electronics work required readable units above hertz scale.
kHz is used for audio frequencies, lower radio bands, electronics signals, sampling rates, and technical frequency references.
A megahertz is a frequency unit equal to one million hertz.
Megahertz became common as radio, electronics, and computing frequencies reached millions of cycles per second.
MHz is used for radio bands, oscillators, microcontrollers, processor clocks, communication systems, and electronic test equipment.
Mathematically, megahertz (MHz) = kilohertz (kHz) converted with the formula below.
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
1 MHz = 1,000 kHz
Formula: value × 0.001
Example: 15 kHz = 0.015 MHz
Precision note: Use the exact relationship 1000 kHz = 1 MHz. Keep significant figures aligned with the source frequency value.
1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
1 MHz = 1,000 kHz
| Kilohertz [kHz] | Megahertz [MHz] |
|---|---|
| 0.01 kHz | 0.00001 MHz |
| 0.1 kHz | 0.0001 MHz |
| 1 kHz | 0.001 MHz |
| 2 kHz | 0.002 MHz |
| 5 kHz | 0.005 MHz |
| 10 kHz | 0.01 MHz |
| 20 kHz | 0.02 MHz |
| 50 kHz | 0.05 MHz |
| 100 kHz | 0.1 MHz |
One kilohertz equals 0.001 megahertz.
1500 kHz equals 1.5 MHz.
MHz is clearer when the frequency reaches thousands of kilohertz or is normally discussed in millions of cycles per second.
