Gigahertz to Kilohertz Converter

Enter the frequency in gigahertz:

A Gigahertz to Kilohertz (GHz to kHz) converter is a tool or mathematical formula used to convert frequency values from gigahertz (GHz) to kilohertz (kHz). Frequency is a measure of how often a periodic event occurs per second, and different units are used depending on the scale of measurement.

Understanding the Units

• Gigahertz (GHz):

  • 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz (10⁹ Hz)

  • Used for high-frequency measurements like processor clock speeds, radio waves, and microwave signals.

• Kilohertz (kHz):

  • 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz (10³ Hz)

  • Used for audio frequencies, radio broadcasting, and lower-frequency electronic signals.

Conversion Formula

The conversion from GHz to kHz is straightforward because both units are metric multiples of Hertz (Hz). The formula is:

$$\text{Frequency in kilohertz (kHz)}=\text{Frequency in gigahertz (GHz)}\times 1,000,000$$

Explanation:
Since:

• 1 GHz = 10⁹ Hz

• 1 kHz = 10³ Hz

To convert GHz to kHz:

$$1\text{ GHz}=\frac{{10}^9\text{ Hz}}{{10}^3\text{ Hz/kHz}}={10}^6\text{ kHz}=1,000,000\text{ kHz}$$

Conversion Steps

1. Take the value in GHz.
   Example: 2.5 GHz

2. Multiply by 1,000,000 (10⁶).

   $$2.5\text{ GHz}\times 1,000,000=2,500,000\text{ kHz}$$

3. Result:
   2.5 GHz = 2,500,000 kHz

Conversion Table

Gigahertz (GHz)	Kilohertz (kHz)

0.1 GHz	100,000 kHz
1 GHz	1,000,000 kHz
2 GHz	2,000,000 kHz
5 GHz	5,000,000 kHz
10 GHz	10,000,000 kHz
