Cycles per Second to Kilohertz Converter

Understanding Frequency Conversion
What are Cycles per Second?
Cycles per second (cps) is a fundamental unit of frequency measurement that describes how many complete oscillations occur in one second. It's equivalent to Hertz (Hz), the SI unit of frequency.
Understanding Kilohertz
A kilohertz (kHz) represents 1,000 cycles per second. It's commonly used in electronics, audio engineering, and telecommunications to measure higher frequencies in a more manageable format.
Conversion Formula
To convert from cycles per second to kilohertz, divide the number of cycles per second by 1,000:
kHz = cps ÷ 1,000
Common Applications
This conversion is particularly useful in: - Audio frequency measurements - Radio wave frequencies - Digital signal processing - Electronic component specifications
