Convert Gigahertz to Kilohertz
1 gigahertz is 1,000,000 kHz. One gigahertz is exactly 1000000 kilohertz.
One gigahertz is 1000000 kilohertz. To convert gigahertz to kilohertz, multiply by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by 1000000 or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. A billion hertz.
Factor checked against the defining standard · How we check
- Gigahertz × 1000000
1 * 10000001,000,000 kHz
1 gigahertz in every frequency unit
| Unit | Value | Exact factor |
|---|---|---|
| hertz | 1,000,000,000 Hz | × 1,000,000,000 |
| kilohertz | 1,000,000 kHz | × 1,000,000 |
| megahertz | 1,000 MHz | × 1,000 |
| gigahertz (as entered) | 1 GHz | — |
| terahertz | 0.001 THz | × 0.001 |
| revolutions per minute | 60,000,000,000 rpm | × 60,000,000,000 |
Factors are entered by hand from NIST Special Publication 811 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert gigahertz to kilohertz? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in gigahertz.
- 2.Multiply by 1000000 — that is how many kilohertz fit in one gigahertz.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1000000, or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6.
Worked example: 25 gigahertz to kilohertz
- Formula
- GHz × 1000000 = kHz
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 1000000 = 25,000,000 kHz
- Answer
- 25 GHz = 25,000,000 kHz
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is a gigahertz?
A billion hertz. Wi-Fi runs at 2.4 and 5 GHz, and a processor clock has been quoted in these since about 2000 — a 3.5 GHz core starts a new cycle every 286 picoseconds.
What is a kilohertz?
A thousand hertz. AM radio is broadcast here — 540 to 1600 kHz — and audio sampling is quoted in it: a CD samples at 44.1 kHz.
How many kilohertz are in a gigahertz?
One gigahertz is 1000000 kilohertz, exactly. Going the other way, one kilohertz is 1.0000 × 10^-6 gigahertz. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
Every frequency unit here
The whole group — 6 units with their symbols and the size of each one in hertzs — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a gigahertz.
