Cycles per Second to Gigahertz Converter

1

Understanding Frequency Conversion

What are Cycles per Second?

Cycles per second (cps) measure the number of complete oscillations that occur in one second. This unit is also known as Hertz (Hz), named after physicist Heinrich Hertz.

What is a Gigahertz?

A Gigahertz (GHz) represents one billion (109) cycles per second. It's commonly used to measure computer processor speeds, radio frequencies, and other high-frequency phenomena.

Conversion Formula

To convert from cycles per second to gigahertz, divide the frequency by 1,000,000,000:

GHz = cps ÷ 1,000,000,000
